Gerrard back against Newcastle

Gerrard has been out of action for three weeks with a groin injury.

“Steven is doing well and is training with the rest of the team,” Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez told the club’s official website.

“I think he will be fit and available for Sunday.

“It is good news for the team and for him because he can be a key player for us over the remaining games.

“Without Steven the squad has been playing well and scoring goals, so that is positive.”
