Liverpool boss Rodgers delighted Lallana now available

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has no concerns about Adam Lallana's form since he returned to the starting line-up.

He believes the £23million midfielder will show why Liverpool made such a big investment in him this summer when he is fully fit.

Lallana missed six weeks after damaging medial ligaments during a training session in Boston in July but Rodgers said: "It was always going to be difficult however way you look at it, coming into a new club.

"For the likes of Adam, he missed pre-season.

"Even without that there is going to be a six-month settling in period. But he' s settled very well and loves the club. Once he gets his match fitness he'll be very good."
