Thursday at LFC: Stevie retires, Melwood latest and more

Read on for our summary of all things LFC today...

Our top three stories...

We start with the news that a Liverpool legend has called time on his career.

Former Reds captain Gerrard announced today that his days as a professional player are over after he departed MLS outfit LA Galaxy earlier this month.

Back at Melwood, the manager was busy speaking to the world's media ahead of Saturday's meeting with Sunderland.

Klopp reflected on the prospect of selecting his team for the clash with the Black Cats, explaining that the Reds 'have not the biggest injury issues' going into the weekend.

You can even verify the German's claims by checking out our gallery of pictures from today's training session here.

Meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho, who will be hoping to retain his starting place against David Moyes' side, explained the secret behind his fine recent form.

Any other business...

We also heard from Reds right-back Nathaniel Clyne on exactly what his manager expects from the full-backs he selects.

He should certainly know, having featured in all 15 of Liverpool's games so far this season.

And there was a boost on the injury front late last night, as Joe Gomez came through 90 minutes in helping the U23s to a win over Burnley. Read the report here.
