Kenny Dalglish has welcomed the return to fitness of Steven Gerrard as he prepares to start the Liverpool captain against Manchester United.Gerrard has only recently come back into contention for the Reds following a groin operation which kept him on the sidelines for six months.
He has so far made only three appearances as a substitute, while he was left out of England's squad for the 2-2 draw with Montenegro in Euro 2012 qualifying last Friday. Dalglish has been careful not to push the midfielder too hard during the early part of his comeback, "A fit Steven Gerrard strengthens this football club, no question. If you have Steven in your squad, it's going to raise the profile and standard," said Dalglish."We want to have a really strong squad - and him being in it makes it that much stronger."
