Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is confident Steven Gerrard will bounce back from his dismissal at Aston Villa.

Gerrard kick off his coaching career with Liverpool's academy.

Klopp said, "I am very sure Steven Gerrard will come back from that. We had a little exchange this morning, nothing too deep. I can imagine that it is disappointing for him because of the ambitions he had and the things he wanted to achieve with Aston Villa. It's obviously not cool, but I don't think we have to worry now for Stevie. He knows the game and that these things can happen.

"We all get knocks, it is about how you respond. He will come back from that, no doubt. A lot of great managers out there had to leave their previous clubs for different reasons.

"Some of the best turned up elsewhere and tried to learn from it to earn a better situation. So he will be back 100% but now I hope, actually, that he takes a bit of time for him. Since he finished his career he has been working pretty much all the time, so maybe use it a little bit for himself to recharge."
