Steven Gerrard is still in contention for a place in
Liverpool’s midfield against Standard Liege after Rafael
Benitez confirmed his skipper will be on the flight to Belgium
on Tuesday morning.
Gerrard faces a race against time to be fit for the Reds'
first competitive match of the new season after picking up a
thigh strain during last week's friendly in Valerenga.
"I was talking with him this morning and he will go with us to
Belgium," said Benitez.
"He is progressing really well but we will check tomorrow
after training. I will speak with the doctor and with Steven
and then decide."
Martin Skrtel, Fabio Aurelio and Philipp Degen are all
definitely ruled out of the clash in Liege as they recover
from knocks sustained during the pre-season programme.
"Martin and Fabio are training with us but they will stay
here," confirmed the boss. "They are not ready for this game
but hopefully both will be available for the weekend.
"Philipp isn't training with us yet and is a little behind the
other two."
