Steven Gerrard has been named in the Liverpool squad to travel to Spain on Tuesday morning for the Champions League first leg clash with Real Madrid.
The Liverpool skipper, who has been sidelined for three weeks with hamstring trouble, came through a training session at Melwood this morning and will be on the flight with the rest of the squad tomorrow.
Manager Rafael Benitez confirmed: "Steven will be in the squad. He was okay in training this morning.
"It was a special training session so we were not testing him one hundred per cent, but he trained okay so we will see."
Saya rasa kehadiran Gerrard akan sedikit sebanyak akan meningkatkan moral pemain lain dan juga memberikan Rafa sedikit kelegaan untuk menempuh hari-hari mendatang yang teramat mencabar. Tetapi seharusnya Gerard tidak diturunkan jika beliau belum pulih seterusnya. Dan risiko yang diambil untuk menurunkan beliau pasti akan membawa padah jika beliau kembali cedera kerana kecederaan belum benar-benar pulih. Oleh itu dengan adanya Alonso maka kita tidak terdesak sangat untuk mennggunakan khidmat Gerard kerana Alonso berpengalaman untuk menghadapi Real Madrid.
