Sports / Markovic has Liverpool future, says Rodgers
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers
insists Lazar Markovic still has a future at Anfield, but will not be
drawn on reports of a loan switch, Soccerway reports.
The Serbia international arrived on
Merseyside ahead of the 2014-15 season, but made just 11 Premier League
starts during his debut campaign.
Markovic is now said to be close to
securing a temporary move to Fenerbahce, although Rodgers is keen to
stress he is not closing the door on the 21-year-old.
“Markovic still has a future here,” he said. “I won’t be commenting on transfers, in or out.”
One man to have already left Liverpool
is Mario Balotelli, who completed a move back to Milan on loan on
Thursday after his own disappointing first season under Rodgers.

“It’s a good move for Mario,” added Rodgers. “He goes to play and gets a season of playing football in his homeland.”
Despite Balotelli’s exit, Liverpool are
not short on strikers, with Christian Benteke, Danny Ings, Fabio Borini
and DivockOrigi all at Rodgers’ disposal.

Sturridge will hope he can soon be challenging Benteke for a first-team
berth, but Rodgers says the England international – out since April
with a hip injury – will not be rushed back.
“There is no timeline,” he explained. “He’s come back from America. He looks well.
“We will take it week on week. There’s no pressure.”
