Brendan Rodgers admits that it is a possibility that Andy Carroll could be sent out on loan from Liverpool this season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he would consider putting striker Andy Carroll out on loan for the upcoming season.

The former Newcastle United frontman has been linked with a temporary switch to AC Milan and the Irish boss has refused to rule out this option for the £35m striker.

"It's something I would have to look at, I have to be honest," Rodgers told The Telegraph. "I'm not going to sit here and say I will never let anyone go on loan, then come in here in two weeks and a player's gone, and you're saying 'you said you wouldn't let them go'.

"There are many things to going on loan. Is it going to be beneficial for the club, that's the most important thing? Sometimes a player going out on loan - in general, not just Andy - can benefit the club in the long term.

"It gets them game experience, and they come back a better player, a more confident one. Certainly more so than if they've been sitting on the bench for the majority of the season."

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that the Merseyside club are close to signing Roma forward Fabio Borini.
