Liverpool fear Gerrard needs surgery

Liverpool have fears that Steven Gerrard must undergo surgery.

The Daily Mail says Gerrard will be absent for Liverpool again tomorrow as he struggles to recover from the problem he suffered in England's World Cup qualifying defeat by Ukraine almost three weeks ago.

The 29-year-old has managed only 25 minutes of action since then - in last week's Champions League loss to Lyon at Anfield, when he aggravated the injury and limped off.

Liverpool are perplexed by Gerrard's slow recovery. They are reluctant to opt for surgery but it may be an option if the injury fails to respond to treatment.
