Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has revealed that Steven Gerrard is making good progress in his recovery from a groin injury.
Gerrard was ruled out for at least the first month of the new Premier League season last week when the Reds confirmed that their skipper had picked up an infection. He has been in hospital receiving treatment.
There were fears that the inspirational midfielder would be out for even longer than first stated but Dalglish, speaking at a press conference to unveil summer signings Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Alexander Doni, said that the news on Gerrard was "very positive".
"Steven won't be too far away," Dalglish said. "The tests that have come back are far better than what was anticipated, so we are delighted by that.
"We've had some very positive news and will just wait for the progress to continue."
However, despite the good news, the Scot does not envisage having Gerrard back before early September. He added: "We've had positive news but the date (of a return) the club has stated remains the same."
