Steven Gerrard is leading the well-wishes for Kenny Dalglish after it was revealed the Liverpool great had tested positive for coronavirus.
Gerrard played under Dalglish when he returned to manage Liverpool for a second stint between January 2011 and May 2012.
The former Liverpool captain posted a picture of one of his daughters alongside Dalglish on Instagram and wrote "Get well soon king" in a nod to his old manager's nickname.

Dalglish's family released a statement Friday night which confirmed the 69-year-old had been hospitalized on Wednesday in order to treat a separate infection which required intravenous antibiotics.
Dalglish won nine league titles during his time as player and manager at Liverpool.
The former Celtic and Scotland forward was given a routine test for COVID-19 after being admitted and the result showed up as positive - although he is displaying no symptoms.
The statement said: "In keeping with current procedures, he was subsequently tested for Covid-19 despite having previously displayed no symptoms of the illness. Unexpectedly, the test result was positive but he remains asymptomatic."
