Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has revealed that club talisman Steven Gerrard is moving closer to a return.

 

Gerrard had a spell on the sidelines before returning to action earlier this season however, the England international picked up another injury and has not been able to make his presence felt.

 

With Liverpool having lost Lucas to a season-ending injury, the return of Gerrard would be welcome news for Dalglish.

 

And the Liverpool boss is expecting the 31-year-old to return sooner rather than later.

 

"He’s closer", said Dalglish to the club’s official site when asked about when Gerrard might come back.

 

"We have never put any time on it and he will be right when he is right", the Scot stressed.

 

"Everything he has done has been very positive and we are delighted with the progress."
