Following a drawn-out recuperation process following a groin injury, Steven Gerrard is to re-join his Liverpool teammates in full training this week.
Speaking to the Mirror Football website, the Reds skipper expressed his excitement about returning to the fold after what has been a very exciting start to the season at Anfield.
Gerrard reserved special praise for the deals that manager Kenny Dalglish managed to finalize before the transfer window closed last week, offloading players that will not be required, such as Joe Cole, and bringing in others, like former Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing, who have brought a spark to the Merseyside club.
“There’s a real positivity around the place and that has come from the very top,” he explained.
“The owners have been superb and backed Kenny really well, and he has been a very smooth operator in the transfer market alongside Damien Comolli.
“What is really important is that they’ve shifted a lot of players who were no longer involved and sitting on good contracts.
“I’m really happy with the shape and the numbers we have in the squad and I’m excited about this season. You want to play with good players and I just can’t wait to get back and lead the lads out.”
