Daniel Agger could be back in Liverpool's first-team squad for the home games with West Ham and Newcastle coming up next month.
The Danish centre-back has been sidelined since September after breaking a metatarsal at Portsmouth, failing with one comeback, but made a successful return to action in the reserves on Tuesday night.
Agger played the first-half of the second string's 2-0 win over Manchester United, before being replaced at the break by Martin Skrtel, who is also closing in on a first-team return.
Xabi Alonso and Harry Kewell also featured for Gary Ablett's reserves and scored the goals as the Reds put one over on their near rivals United, who also had Gary Neville making his latest comeback.
Speaking about the defender's return, Benitez said: "It was good for Agger to get some minutes on the pitch and we decided before the game that he would play the first half and Skrtel would play the second. Agger did well and now we will have to see how he is today.
The boss added: It will be good for us to have Skrtel and Agger available again because at the moment we have only Sami and Carra.
"It is important to have two players for every position.
"It was also good for us to see Kewell and Alonso because we know that they have quality."
