The 32-year-old England skipper completed Liverpool's comeback at Villa Park with a 60th-minute penalty and then produced a crucial goal-line clearance to prevent Christian Benteke from equalising.He had a bit of pain and was struggling to get his boot on. But for him it was a case of whatever it takes to play.Afterwards, Rodgers revealed that Gerrard had required a pain-killing injection in his heel in order to play, and said it was a mark of his commitment to the club.It was nothing major but many other players might not have played or even trained. That shows the mentality and mindset of the man.Steven is a remarkable man. Look at his fitness level, and his running ability. He has been like that the majority of the season," Rodgers said.Rodgers confirmed that the club were studying the possibility of offering Gerrard a new contract and said he could see the central midfielder playing on for several seasons.He had to get an injection in his heel to play. We had an issue with his heel for a couple of days.
