Liverpool assistant manager Sammy Lee is sure that Steven Gerrard's return to fitness will provide the Anfield outfit with a massive boost as they look to seal a place in next season's Champions League.

The Merseysiders have endured a difficult campaign so far with only the Europa League and the possibility of a top four finish left to play for.

Gerrard has been struggling with a hamstring injury in recent weeks but his return to the side could be just what the Reds need, according to Lee.

"It's always great to have him on the training park, and everyone knows his influence on the team," the coach told the club's official website.

"It's nice to have his quality in and around the place.

"Him being fit could be massive for us. Everyone knows that. We're working hard to make sure Stevie's fit, match fit and ready for us. He's working hard too - he always does.

"It's massive to have players of his ilk, of his quality, around the place."
