Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has dismissed reports suggesting that he will recall midfielder Alberto Aquilani from Juventus in January.
The 26-year-old midfielder is currently on loan at the Italian giants until the end of the season and has been in sensational form in Turin. Aquilani's rejuvenation has sparked rumours that Liverpool would cut short his loan deal and bring him back to Anfield, but Hodgson insists that they have no such plans.
"No, I don't think there is any chance of doing that," the Liverpool manager is quoted as saying by Sky Sports. "The loan spell is quite clear.
"He's loaned out until the end of the season, so we won't be able to bring him back until the end of the season."
Aquilani was signed by Liverpool from Roma at the start of the 2009-10 campaign but after failing to impress under Rafael Benitez was shipped out on loan to Juventus in the summer.
The Bianconeri also have the option of signing Aquilani to a permanent deal when his loan deal expires.
