Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says can see himself returning to the club in retirement.

The long-serving midfielder open to the possibility of returning to the club in some capacity in the future.

"The last couple of weeks will be probably how the last 24 hours have been - very tough. But I'm really proud of what I've done and hopefully I can write a few more chapters with the team from now to the end," he said.

"But the last game and the last couple of training sessions are going to be torture, because it's so tough to say 'goodbye'. But hopefully it's more of a 'see you soon' rather than a 'goodbye'."

He added about the chance of returning: "I'll only come back and serve the club if I feel as if I can help.

"If I sit down with the people who are running the club at that time and they see a role for me where I can help the team or help young kids to become players, of course I will consider it."
