Daniel Agger has warned he will consider his future at Liverpool FC if he is to spend another year watching from the bench.

The 29-year-old labelled last season “unacceptable” and says he will consider his options should his first-team prospects not improve this term.

The Danish defender’s future has been subject to speculation as Liverpool edge closer to a deal to sign Southampton’s Dejan Lovren and he made just 20 Premier League appearances last season as Brendan Rodgers often opted for the partnership of Mamadou Sakho and Martin Skrtel.

Agger reportedly told a Danish newspaper: “It is no secret that I had problems last season and I am considering things.

“How things turned out last season is not acceptable for me.

“I am here now and it is up to me to show the coach that I should play.”

Agger returned to his homeland last week as the Reds met Brondby in the club’s first pre-season friendly and he isn’t ruling out a return to the team he left in January 2005.

He said: “Many things can happen in football and I do not want to exclude anything.”

Agger joined Liverpool’s 33-man squad on the plane to the USA on Sunday.
