Gerrard in line for Liverpool return

Steven Gerrard is close to returning to the Liverpool line-up.

The Reds captain has been sidelined since February 10 with a hamstring injury but is pushing to be back this week.

Liverpool meet Burnley at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night before hosting Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday and the veteran midfielder is a chance to play in at least one of the fixtures.

"He's coming along very well. He's building up strength in his hamstring," said Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.

"He's been outside, so he's working very hard, and we hope that in the very near future, he'll be back and available."
