Agger, Gerrard & Carroll latest
Kenny Dalglish today provided an update on the fitness of Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger - but insisted speculation Andy Carroll is on the brink of his debut is wide of the mark.
The boss expects to have Agger available for Thursday's Europa League last 32, second-leg clash with Sparta Prague at Anfield after the defender recovered from an adductor injury.
However, Dalglish will not rush Gerrard back into the fold with the skipper having missed Liverpool's last two matches due to a groin problem.
He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Daniel is fit now, so he's up for consideration.
"Steven is almost there. Whether he gets there in time or not remains to be seen, but we're not going to push somebody into a game that's not quite ready.
"As much as Steven would love to play and we'd love to have him, I think we've got to think a bit longer term than just one game.
"But if he's fit and well, he come under consideration like everybody else.
"I think it's important we adopt the same philosophy as we've had before with the likes of Jay Spearing, who could have carried on a little bit longer with his injury but we wanted to get it done and dusted and get him looked after.
"Daniel Agger was the same, Martin Skrtel got a rest last week (against Sparta), Martin Kelly got a rest, so I think we've got to be consistent in our approach to things and if there is any doubt whatsoever, if we can get by without Steven then we will do."
Meanwhile, Dalglish played down media suggestions Carroll could be in line to make his Liverpool debut against West Ham United this weekend.
The club's record signing has stepped up his recovery from a thigh injury this week, and though pleased with his progress, the Reds will not risk rushing the England striker back into action too soon.
Dalglish said: "He has done everything that has been expected of him up to this time. The medical people and ourselves on the football side are delighted with his progress.
"He's still got a bit to go before he'll be considered for a match, but he's probably a little bit ahead of schedule rather than behind schedule.
"It's great for him and it's great for us. He wants to get a game but obviously patience is again a word that we need to adopt for him and for us."
