Steven Gerrard Set To Face Wolves After Speedy Return From Injury


Steven Gerrard is in contention for Liverpool's visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow after returning ahead of schedule from injury.

The club captain was expected to be sidelined for at least a fortnight after sustaining a hamstring problem in the FA Cup exit to Reading on 13 January.

Gerrard returned to action at the club's Melwood training ground over the weekend, however, and could now play in the Wolves game at Molineux.

"He was training on Saturday and then a full training session on Sunday, and today was the same," said the Liverpool manager, Rafael Benítez. "Normally he's someone who, if available, can play.

"We'll decide tomorrow but I think he can be available."
