Liverpool is ready to give Sebastian Coates a break from Anfield by loaning him out before the transfer window closes.
Coates has failed to make an impression on Merseyside and under Brendan Rodgers has seen first team opportunities limited.
Rodgers is looking to do some last-minute business, and with Jamie Carragher hinting at a possible Anfield exit, sorting out the defence is one of his priorities.
Although no offers have come through for the player, Rodgers maintains that Coates could benefit from the loan experience.
He was quoted on ESPN, as saying: “I have said in the last couple of weeks that he is a player who I believe needs games and needs to go and play but obviously, I need to protect the club as well in relation to the size of the group.
"Everyone knows how small we are as a squad. There are still a few more days to go, so we'll assess that and take it from there.”
There have been fleeting moments of brilliance from Coates, most memorably the superbly executed goal he scored against QPR last season.
