Liverpool FC have received a welcome boost ahead of Saturday’s clash with Queens Park Rangers at Anfield after skipper Steven Gerrard returned to light training.
The talismanic LFC midfielder has been sidelined since he was diagnosed with an ankle infection six weeks ago.
However, Gerrard was pictured being put through his paces away from the main group by the Liverpool FC's head of fitness and conditioning Darren Burgess at Melwood.
No date has been put on the 31-year-old’s comeback but the fact he’s back running again will raise hopes that he will be involved over the festive period.
“It’s all part of Steven’s natural progression,” said boss Kenny Dalglish.
“We’ve been delighted with his progress and that’s continuing.
“But we have never put a time frame on when he will be back playing and we won’t now.”
Gerrard hasn’t played since the game against Norwich City on October 22 as his ankle flared up on the eve of the Reds’ trip to West Brom a week later.
His anticipated return later this month will be timely with Liverpool FC facing a hectic Christmas schedule of four league games in the space of 13 days.
