Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has insisted that Steven Gerrard will not be leaving Anfield any time soon.
Rumours continue to circulate that the England international is unhappy with life at Anfield after a disappointing season that has seen the Reds stumble out of the Champions League and struggle domestically.
But his manager maintains that there is no reason to doubt Gerrard's commitment to the Anfield cause, and the player's preceived lack of form has been due to injury worries.
"I don't have any doubt at all about Gerrard's commitment - and nobody at this club has," Liverpool's manager said, accoriding to The Daily Mirror.
"Yes, he can maybe play better or he can play worse, but he will always try, that is absolutely guaranteed.
"People have talked about his form, but the consistency of form is something you can only find when you train every week and have training sessions in a row.
"If you are injured and have to start again, and injured and have to start again, then it's difficult for any player to show his best, be it Gerrard, (Fernando) Torres, (Yossi) Benayoun or whoever."
