Liverpool Delay Gerrard Return

Steven Gerrard took an active part in Liverpool training on Tuesday, but Kenny Dalglish is refusing to put a date on the player's return to action.

Liverpool has been shorn of the services of their captain since he picked up an ankle infection in October. The Reds have made repeated denials that the midfielder had suffered a setback and he was pictured working hard in training on Tuesday.

The images suggested Gerrard could be included against Wigan on Wednesday, but that game will come too soon for the 31-year-old.

"We don't have any problems, apart from Jack Robinson, Steven (Gerrard) and Fabio (Aurelio) as well," Dalglish said. "The longer term ones aren't in the squad."

Asked if there was a chance Gerrard would feature at any point over the festive period, Dalglish said: "It remains to be seen, but we won't be making any comments on it."
