Rodgers open to Carroll loan

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers would consider sending England striker Andy Carroll out on loan.

The 23-year-old has struggled to live up to expectations since moving to Anfield from Newcastle for £35million 18 months ago.

He is reportedly wanted on a season-long by AC Milan, and Rodgers said in The Daily Telegraph: "It's something I would have to look at, I have to be honest."
