Rodgers' update on Sterling contract
Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling will agree a new contract with the club in the near future.
The 20-year-old scored a sublime equaliser against Chelsea on Tuesday night to secure a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final.
Next up for the Reds in a busy week is a fourth round meeting with Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup at Anfield on Saturday evening.
As he previewed that tie today, Rodgers was asked for an update on any negotiations with Sterling regarding a fresh deal.
"Obviously the club are speaking with his representatives on it," reported the boss. "I would think that will be concluded very imminently.
"You can see he's very happy, it's nothing to do with Raheem - he wants to be here. Hopefully we'll get a solution on that very soon."
