Gerrard return a boost

The Liverpool captain has been out with a hamstring injury but could make the bench for Sunday's game against Man City. His return is a huge boost to the squad says Alonso.

"It's good to see Stevie coming back but we have to wait until he is one hundred per cent," said his fellow midfielder.

"It's not intelligent to rush him back. Whenever he feels okay he will be a big part of our squad again."
