Brendan Rodgers to listen to Joe Cole offers?

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly willing to listen to offers for midfielder Joe Cole during the current transfer window.

The 30-year-old England international, who spent last season on loan at Lille, recently said that he wanted to remain at Anfield and "make an imprint at the club".

However, according to Sky Sports News, Rodgers is concerned by the player's injury history and would be happy to have him removed from the Reds wage bill before next week's deadline.

Both of Cole's first-team appearances for Liverpool this season - against FC Gomel and West Bromwich Albion - have ended prematurely because of injury.
