Thegoalmac can reveal that Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has labelled suggestions of a rift between him and manager Brendan Rodgers as "nonsense".
Gerrard was left out of the Reds' starting XI for the first time in the
Premier League this season for Saturday's 1-0 victory over Stoke City.

The
34-year-old's recent performances had attracted criticism from certain
quarters, with Liverpool having gone five games without a win in all
competitions before the hard-fought success against Stoke.
Saturday's
fixture marked the 16th anniversary of Gerrard's first-team debut for
Liverpool, and various reports had suggested that he was unhappy with
Rodgers for omitting him.
However, the former England skipper took to social media on Sunday to rubbish such speculation.
Posting
on his official Instagram account, with an accompanying photo of
himself and Rodgers, Gerrard wrote: "Just to set the record straight
talk of a fall out between us 2 is NONSENSE...have a nice Sunday
#together #solid #ynwa."
Gerrard's future at Anfield remains
uncertain, however, with Rodgers telling his post-Stoke media conference
that there has been no movement on negotiations over a contract
extension for his skipper - whose current deal expires at the end of
this season.
"There's no update I am aware of - I think the club is talking with Steven's representatives," said the Northern Irishman.
