Kenny Dalglish insists that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard can still be a force in the Premier League.
The club skipper has been sidelined since March, but is getting ever closer to full fitness and could make his return from injury as soon as this weekend against Tottenham.
With Dalglish refusing to rush his star man back from a long stretch out of the game, Gerrard has had to wait a long time to come back into the frame at Liverpool and with such an absence from football, some have suggested the club’s skipper may have lost his touch.
However Dalglish disagrees, telling reporters: "If you have got someone like Steven in your squad, it is going to raise the profile and the standard.
"We want to have a really strong squad and his being in makes it much stronger.
"A fit Steven Gerrard strengthens this football club, no question.
"There is no player that will ever be taken for granted here.
"There are players who you will always appreciate for what they have done for the football club and he has done as much for the club as anyone else."
