Talk of Steven Gerrard returning to play for Liverpool this season has been branded 'ridiculous' by LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena.

Talk of Steven Gerrard returning to play for Liverpool this season has been branded "ridiculous" by LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena.

Gerrard's 17-year association with Liverpool came to an end at the conclusion of the previous Premier League campaign as he joined the Major League Soccer side on an 18-month deal.

However, with Galaxy eliminated from MLS Cup contention having lost to 3-2 to Seattle Sounders last Thursday, reports have suggested the 35-year-old Gerrard would train with his boyhood club during the MLS off-season, with a potential playing role also thought to be in the pipeline.

That possibility has been ruled out by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and former United States coach Arena said: "I don't believe it [the speculation] is at all accurate.

"There's not any truth to any of this. It's ridiculous."
