Agger: Gerrard`s return is a major boost for the team

Liverpool faces Olympique Lyon on Tuesday night. Daniel Agger thinks the return of Steven Gerrard will lift the team.

The Champions League clash against Lyon is a crucial game for Liverpool, that keeps on struggling this season. The loss against Sunderland (1-0) last Saturday, formed the last deception in a growing row.

Danish defender Daniel Agger thinks Steven Gerrard`s return to the team will be a major boost for the Reds. The captain missed the match against Sunderland due to a groin injury.

`Stevie would lift any team in the world,` said Agger.

`I don’t have to say anything about him, everyone knows. `

`He is not only a brilliant footballer, he is also a really good person – and a strong character, someone who helps others.`

`A person like that is hard to be without so to have him back is a great boost – not only for his football abilities but his personality.

`First of all he is a fantastic captain and is always in the front line protecting the team and working hard.

`Every player in that team, especially the younger ones, will say he has helped them in one way or another. He is that kind of person,` concluded Agger.
