Liverpool's England captain Steven Gerrard is delighted with the return of Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry.
Gerrard believes the return of Barry will strengthen England for the meeting with the Algerians in Cape Town.
Gerrard said: "It is great to have Gareth back. He is a terrific passer of the ball, he is so calm in possession.
"He gives protection to the two centre-halves if they need it and he has been fantastic for England during the past two years.
"His return to the side really strengthens the starting XI."
