Gerrard back in training

December 31, 2008

The day after his release from prison, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was back in training earlier this morning.

Gerrard, who was arrested on Sunday after a bar brawl and charged with assault, has been released on bail.

The club has stood by its talisman throughout the ordeal.

Gerrard will have to wait approximately three weeks until his first court appearance and the worst case scenario is that he could spend the next five years in prison, if found guilty.

Gerrard is due to appear in court for an initial hearing on the twenty-third of January with John Doran and Ian Smith, who are friends from the Huyton area of Liverpool where he grew up and were charged with the same offences.

Merseyside Police released three other men on bail pending further inquiries.
