'No approaches' for Liverpool defender

Brendan Rodgers says he is open to the possibility of allowing Sebastian Coates to leave Liverpool on loan during the January transfer window, but admits there have been no approaches for the Uruguay international.

Coates has failed to make an impression of note since Rodgers arrived at Anfield as Kenny Dalglish's successor last summer, and has played just three times in the Premier League this season.

The 22-year-old defender finds himself behind Liverpool's first-choice central pairing of Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger, while veteran Jamie Carragher is also ahead of Coates in Rodgers' selection order.

Rodgers, then, is willing to send Coates away to allow him to further his education elsewhere, although would have to take into account the size of the squad currently at his disposal.
