Leto Cleared For LiverpooL Debut


Liverpool starlet Sebastian Leto has finally been given the all-clear to make his debut for the Premiership club.

The Argentinian left winger has been granted a European passport and is now set to play in this weekend's Port of Rotterdam tournament.

The 20-year-old was blocked from travelling to Hong Kong for last week's Asia Trophy tournament because of a delay in paperwork.

But Leto, a £2million signing from Lanus at the end of last season, will be included in boss Rafael Benitez's squad when Liverpool fly to Holland tomorrow morning.

Liverpool play Shanghai Shenua tomorrow evening and Feyenoord on Sunday as they round off their pre-season programme.

Benitez said: "He (Leto) will be able to play in Holland. Leto will travel with the squad and we have permission to play him in these games.

"It's good news for him because it's not easy when you're only training. You want to play in the games."
