Liverpool skipper Gerrard delighted to be back in action

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard was delighted to see action in victory over Indonesia.

The Reds beat an Indonesia XI 2-0 on Saturday, played out in a cauldron of noise and Kop anthems at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

"It's nice to play football again in front of our all our supporters," the skipper told LFC TV.

"My shoulder felt fantastic, so it was nice to get the first 45 minutes under my belt and hopefully I'll get slightly more time in Australia.

"It's been feeling fine now for a few weeks in training, there have been absolutely no problems. The surgeon gave me the go-ahead to play tonight and the manager was sensible in giving me 45 minutes. I'm really happy with how I feel."
