Rafa Benitez is pleased to see Steven Gerrard is almost ready to have a vital impact on the Reds season. Steven Gerrard has struggled with injury this season and has not been able to put together his momentum and form.

Rafa Benitez told Liverpool official website, He said: “Steven has worked very hard. He did well on Tuesday but you could see in two or three of the runs that he made that he didn’t quite have the match fitness that you need. But he was trying all the time and he kept taking good positions. Clearly he will bring a lot to the team when he is fully fit.”

Rafa continued: “We know that he is going to give us different options. We played with Alberto Aquilani as a second striker against Tottenham and we can play Steven in that role.”

“When you play him in that role, he is different because he can get into the box but he also has great deliveries from set-pieces which will help too. We have different players with different skills and that is going to be good for the team going forward until the end of the season.”
