Inspiring Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard told reporters that he is confident to play against Manchester City on Saturday. Gerrard came off the bench and scored on penalty in the draw with Birmingham.
Steven Gerrard said: “I felt very tired after the Birmingham game. But I’m feeling a lot better now. The aim is to get a good week’s training in so I’m ready for the game with City.”
He said: “I’d done very little training in the three weeks beforehand. It took me two or three days to recover from that game but I have spent the past week doing strengthening work. I’m looking forward to the weekend. There’s no mental hurdle to cross. I’ve had a problem in my groin that has taken a while to get over but I’m just relieved the second injection seems to have done the trick.”
Gerrard is anxious to help Liverpool reignite their campaign they have already lost five league matches and will exit the Champions League at the group stages if Fiorentina win at home against Lyon next Tuesday.
Gerrard added: “Some of the lowest points in my career have come about when I have had to miss big games for Liverpool and England through injury. It’s never easy when you have to sit out games against Manchester United or trips away from home in the Champions League.”
“If the lads are winning games and doing well, it makes the pain a bit easier so obviously the last couple of weeks have been extra frustrating. But I’m feeling good now, a lot stronger than before and it’s just a question of getting my match sharpness back now. That is the most important thing.”
