Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says there's plans to rest Raheem Sterling during the Christmas programme.
Sterling has already played 58 games for club and country in 2014 and Rodgers is devising a plan to give him a rest before he burns out.
"Raheem will have a rest," confirmed Rodgers. "There will be a period that is already mapped out for him of when he will come out and have that breather and that recovery after Christmas.
"There is a set period we will look at, it doesn't have to wait until Daniel Sturridge comes back from injury."
