Gerrard missed the Premier League clash through suspension as goals from Hector Bellerin, Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud condemned Liverpool to a second defeat on the trot, leaving Brendan Rodgers' Champions League hopes in tatters.

However, Gerrard and Sakho found time to visit the start of a charity tournament at the latter's former club Paris FC.
The 25-year-old played for the lower division side until 2002 before moving to Paris Saint-Germain, and admitted that he was thrilled to have Gerrard by his side for the event.

It's really special for me to welcome Steven to the locker room where I changed when I was 10 years old
Sakho was reported by Le Parisien as saying: "Steven had promised me a long time ago to come for a charity event.
"He told me he was free Sunday. It's really special for me to welcome Steven to the locker room where I changed when I was 10 years old."
