Liverpool skipper fit

Liverpool boss Kenny Daglish has confirmed that captain Steven Gerrard is fully fit and there are no issues over his fitness. Gerrard was left out of Sunday's defeat to West Brom, with worries over a hamstring injury. But Daglish has admitted that it was a precaution to leave him out last week and he has been training all week with no issues. With nothing but pride left to play for in the Premier League, Dalglish does not want to take any chances with the England international with an FA Cup final coming up in just over a week's time. "He's fine, no problem," was the Scot's assessment on Gerrard. "We said it was just a precaution so he's back training. He's been training all week, so there's no other problems."
