Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says his players know the enormity of this week's Hillsborough findings.

Rodgers asked his squad to pay their own respects to the 96 victims of the tragedy as well as the families who waited 23 years for justice.

He said: "We had a silence on the field during training on Wednesday.

"I was looking at the eyes and faces of the players who have just come in. They were not bemused, they understood.

"That's part of what being at Liverpool is about.

"This disaster was a big part of the club's history.

"It was monumental for this club. Everyone understands it from the youth team to the management. Everyone knows the magnitude of what happened."
