Gerrard returns for Liverpool
A WEEK away from their crucial Champions League qualifier, Liverpool must be relieved to find Steven Gerrard recovered from his World Cup misery.
The Anfield captain played his first 30 minutes of football since the World Cup exit in Gelsenkirchen yesterday. He looked to be recovered from that nightmare, and his failed part in the penalty shootout defeat to Portugal, to suggest he will be firing on all cylinders next Wednesday when Maccabi Haifa arrive at Anfield for the third qualifying round first leg.
