Rodgers Starts Search For Carragher Replacement

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he will be thinking about who might replace retiring Jamie Carragher between now and the end of the season.

"I will miss him because he is a good man, a lover of football and he puts everything into training every day," Rodgers told Sky Sports. "There is no player who is ever irreplaceable but he is a big loss because you can see his experience and how he leads the line.

"We are going to be light in that area so between now and the end of the season we have to assess it as that is the one area of the field where we haven't brought anyone in.

"You need someone in there who is vocal and organizes the line and he does that remarkably well.

"I also have really good players here - Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel - and between now and the end of the season we know we need to strengthen the group and that is what we will look to do.

"If it is not something we have in the group then we may need that type of character in there who can organize and lead."
