Jurgen Klopp rejects talk of playing return for Steven Gerrard

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will speak to Steven Gerrard about a role at the club when his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy expires but the conversation will not involve talk of playing.

The 35-year-old midfielder has another year to run on his deal with the Major League Soccer side but his potential return to train at the Reds’ Melwood base during the off-season prompted suggestions he could once again wear the red shirt.
