Brendan Rodgers: 'Steven Gerrard will be given new contract'

Brendan Rodgers confirms that Steven Gerrard is likely to sign a contract extension in the near future.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that it is only a matter of time before Steven Gerrard signs a new contract with the club.

Gerrard recently announced his retirement from international football as he looks to prolong his club career, and his commitment is likely to be rewarded with a 12-month extension.

"I am very happy that Steven is now going to commit to Liverpool, and I am sure that is something that we will look at," Rodgers is quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo after being asked about his captain's contract situation.

"He is in real good condition, and I'm sure it is something that will happen at some point.

"Listen, for his own mind, I'm sure he will want it sorted out, absolutely. You never want to leave players with not too long to go on their contract."

Gerrard has less than a year remaining on his current deal.
