London - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has declared on Wednesday that he was relaxed about the prospect of former Chelsea striker Demba Ba returning to Anfield with Besiktas in the Europa League.
Senegal international Ba memorably capitalised on a slip by Steven Gerrard in a game at Anfield last April to open the scoring in a 2-0 win that sparked Liverpool's collapse in the Premier League title race.
He will return to the scene of the incident on Thursday when Besiktas tackle Liverpool in the first leg of their Europa League last 32 tie, but Rodgers played down the significance of the reunion.
