Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez insists that captain Steven Gerrard has the full support of the club.
The England international is currently on trial at Liverpool Crown Court on a charge of affray following an incident at a Southport bar last December.
Gerrard is therefore absent from Liverpool's ongoing pre-season tour of the Far East, but Benitez is confident his skipper will soon rejoin the rest of the squad.
"I talk with him everyday, it is okay," Benitez told a press conference broadcast on Sky Sports News. "He has the support of the club and, for sure, the fans.
"I think that it will be okay so we are confident that everything will be good and at the end he will be playing for us and scoring a lot of goals."
