Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has reassured Jamie Carragher that he still has a big role to play for the club.
Carragher was surprisingly left out of the starting XI for last weekend's win at Chelsea with Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel preferred in central defence and the long-serving defender could again miss out for the visit of Manchester City on Sunday.
The move raised questions over the 33-year-old's long-term first-team prospects at Anfield, but Dalglish is adamant the Reds' vice-captain is central to his plans for the future.
"Carra has only been back a week after his calf injury," said Dalglish. "He's an important part of this football club and of this squad, now and going forward. He knows that and we know that.
"We know what he's done for the football club. The respect and admiration he has here from myself and everyone else connected. He understands."
