Benitez: Keane nothing to prove

Liverpool striker Robbie Keane has nothing to prove - despite a difficult start to life at Anfield - according to his boss Rafa Benitez. The Irishman returns to White Hart Lane for the first time since completing a move away from London in the summer.

“I do not believe that Robbie has anything to prove, he has great quality. Hopefully Spurs fans will acknowledge this and what he did for them, and that he is now with another team,” said Benitez according to football365.com, “Keane is available after his slight (groin) injury, he wants to play every game anyway, but yes, this one is very important to him.

“Robbie is a very good player and is working hard, but we know he can play better and score more goals because he has that potential,” said Benitez before adding, “Robbie has experience and is trying to do his job. He is not under pressure because he knows the team is winning, and his contribution to those victories has been very, very good.”
