Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish thinks that defender Daniel Agger is "as good" as any other defender in the Premier League.
The Dane, who has suffered a number of injury woes, has helped the Reds keep a clean sheet in his last two league starts.
"[Agger's] a fantastic player and he's probably as good as anyone else in his position in the Barclays Premier League," Dalglish told the club's official website.
"He's comfortable in possession and he's a very good defender as well. He's a top defender, a top player. He played left-back for us at Stoke as well and did very well.
"It's great to have him back and I hope his fitness remains as it is for a long time."
Liverpool sit sixth in the league table, taking 19 points from a possible 33 after eleven games.
