Flanagan will be ruled out of action for a further six to nine months after his latest knee surgery, but Rodgers is optimistic that the defender will come good again.
“He’s a very important player and has been a huge miss for us this season, Rodgers told club’s official website. “He has got a long road ahead of him over the next four to six months but I’m sure he’ll get his rewards at the end of that.”
The news will be a boost to the Reds as speculation surrounding Raheem Sterling’s future at the Anfield continues to cause problems to Brendan Rodgers.
