Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he's not discussed a loan return with Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard has been linked with a Premier League return in January from LA Galaxy.

Rodgers told liverpoolfc.com: "We haven't spoken about it. It's something that we'll see how it pans out, really. Steven has always made it clear in our talks, in whatever capacity he can help the club, it's something he'll look to do.

"If we feel that can be from a playing perspective, than that's maybe something we can look at another time. Our focus, and when I've spoken to him, has been about finishing this season as strong as we can. His standards are such that he never has a lazy day, he's never wandering too much from his mind other than thinking about winning games and performing every single day in training.

"The loan is something that is maybe a possibility later down the line, but it's way too early to look at that now."
