The Newcastle United manager put his faith in Lovenkrands ahead of the Magpies' top scorer Michael Owen at Liverpool on Sunday, and Shearer has been impressed with his all-round attitude since he took over as boss.

Shearer: "He's (Lovenkrands) fully recovered now, and he's fit again and back ready to play.

"I know he made a big impression when he first came here, and I thought he started well against Chelsea before he had the injury.

"He couldn't play the game after that, and it has been a similar story with a few players, but he's back fit now, and available for selection.

"He can play in a few positions, and has scored a couple of important goals.

"If we need him, hopefully he can do the same again."
