Steven Gerrard To Begin Light Training

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that club captain Steven Gerrard is close to a return to training and will be stepping up his fitness regime over the next week.

The midfielder has been out of action since March with a groin injury and his proposed return in August was postponed due to an infection caused as a result of an operation, meaning Gerrard was left hospitalized until just two weeks ago.

Dalglish was quoted as saying by The Guardian: "Stevie will be stepping up his recovery this week."

Despite the news of a return to training for Gerrard, the club is yet to revise his scheduled return to first-team action, which is said to be mid-September, meaning that the England international would inevitably miss international fixtures against Bulgaria and Wales at the start of next month.
