Liverpool captain
Steven Gerrard has denied claims
of a row with manager Rafa
Benitez.
There were reports of a bust-up between the pair during
Liverpool's FA Cup defeat to
Reading.
"I've heard about a dozen versions of the same rumour and
they're all as daft as each other," said Gerrard. "I'd love to know
who comes up with this kind of stuff because they must have an
unbelievable imagination.
"Nothing happened, that's an absolute fact. But if anyone thinks
this nonsense unsettles either me or the club then they're
mistaken, if anything it's brought everyone even closer together
because we've all had a good laugh about it.
"In the time since he's been here I've never had a problem with
the manager or his staff, and certainly not at half-time in the
Reading game when I was actually receiving treatment for the injury
I'd picked up during the first half.
"The important thing for me now is trying to get myself fit as
soon as possible so I can get back to working with the manager and
the team to try and improve our situation."
Gerrard, who will miss Wednesday's clash with Tottenham through injury, insists he remains
committed to the Liverpool cause
and that he is not looking to leave.
"All the stories about me leaving are unfounded. The fans can be
assured that I am doing all I can to get back to top form and help
Liverpool finish the season on a
high."
