Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina rates Steven Gerrard as one of his greatest team-mates.

Spaniard ranks captain alongside Rivaldo, Xavi, Iniesta and Villa

Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has rated Steven Gerrard as one of the greatest players he has been able to call a team-mate. Captain Gerrard is set to return to lead his side against Wolves on Wednesday night after recovering from the hamstring injury sustained in England's defeat to France in November. Reina has indicated the return of his colleague will come as a welcome boost and the Spaniard ranks his skipper alongside the likes of former Barcelona team-mates Rivaldo, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, and international star David Villa. "I agree with that," said Reina in the Daily Mirror when asked if he concurred with Jamie Carragher's recent assessment of Gerrard as the leading player in Liverpool's history. "So far Stevie is one of the best team-mates I have ever played with. "He is up there with the best and I have played for not bad teams, like Barcelona and the national team, so it's a great compliment and a big truth as well."
