Liverpool started the season brightly but then suffered few blips along the way mainly due to the absence of key stars like Glen Johnson and Phil Coutinho.
The fantastic news for Rodgers and Liverpool fans is that England international Glen Johnson has returned to training and is expected to start against Newcastle United.
Liverpool are joint top of the premier league, level on points with Arsenal and the return of Johnson will give them major boost not only in defense but also in attack.
Because of Johnson’s, Rodgers had to try different formations and various players at the Right back position.
Much effective Kolo Toure had to start as right back to cover for Johnson even when he was brilliant in the center. Then Henderson and Sterling hds to take the position of right wing back but clearly showed that they were not upto the mark and Reds missed Johnson.
Now that he is back, Rodgers may as well fit him straight into the starting lineup against Newcastle in their next premier league game.
The merseysiders have been working well in 3-4-1-2 system and Johnson is a no brainer for the right wing back position.
Adding to that, the Brazilian maestro, Phil Coutinho is also nearing a return from injury and will probably be back in two weeks’ time before the game against Arsenal.
The major injury boost is surely brilliant news for the Anfield faithful as Coutinho and Johnson are quality players and the fans will expect further improvement in performances.
