Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that there may give a rest to the captain Steven Gerrard for battle tonight against Real Madrid in the Champions League. According to Rogers Premier League is priority number one for the club this season and he will consider whether to keep Gerard fresh for the Saturday clash with Chelsea at "Anfield".
Steven Gerrard's contract with Liverpool is until the end of the season and Brendan Rodgers insists he will not take risks with the captain.
"I see nothing gambling in this. I see the match with Real excellent opportunity for the team. I believe we will do well. In the case of Stephen, if he plays on Saturday, I should decide what is a priority for him and for us. If he plays against Newcastle and does not play tonight, you can tell which is a priority, "said Rogers.
"He and I have talked about it. Three big matches - Newcastle, Real Madrid and then Chelsea, we have to see how many players will use. We need to include other players. The task is responsible, but there is no doubt that the Premier League is the priority, then comes the Champions League and it is always the order, "said Brendan Rodgers.
