Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard to begin light training


Steven Gerrard, LiverpoolA comeback is on the cards for the captain as Kenny Dalglish confirms that the midfielder will be stepping up his recovery in the next week in a bid to return to action

 
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that club captain Steven Gerrard is close to a return to training and will be stepping up his fitness regime over the next week.

The midfielder has been out of action since March with a groin injury and his proposed return in August was postponed due to an infection caused as a result of an operation, meaning Gerrard was left hospitalised until just two weeks ago.

Dalglish was quoted as saying by The Guardian: "Stevie will be stepping up his recovery this week."

Despite the news of a return to training for Gerrard, the club are yet to revise his scheduled return to first-team action, which is said to be mid-September, meaning that the England international would inevitably miss international fixtures against Bulgaria and Wales at the start of next month.

Meanwhile, the club have confirmed that centre-back Martin Skrtel will also be stepping up his return to fitness from a calf injury.
