Rodgers on Andy Carroll's future
Brendan Rodgers insists now is not the time to discuss Andy Carroll's long-term future – but revealed Liverpool have been keeping close tabs on the striker all season.
The 24-year-old joined West Ham United on a season-long loan at the start of 2012-13 and the Reds have monitored his progress closely, according to the boss.
Rodgers told Fox: "We've monitored it very closely. We've had representatives from Liverpool at most of the games.
"It's obviously been a difficult season for Andy because his initial idea was he wanted to go out and play every week, but unfortunately for him he's picked up some injuries since he's been away.
"But he scored two very good goals at the weekend and he'll be looking to finish the season on a high and achieve the objectives he wanted to before he went out."
On Carroll's future beyond the end of the current campaign, Rodgers added: "It's nothing to discuss now. It's something we'll speak about at the end of the season."
