Steven Gerrard injury blow for Liverpool

Steven Gerrard looks likely to miss a month of action after suffering a hamstring injury in England’s 2-1 loss against France.

The Liverpool skipper limped off in the 85th minute, leading Liverpool head of fitness Darren Burgess to brand the English FA as “amateurish, disgraceful and incompetent”.

“Steven injured his hamstring last night. He's just been in for an early assessment here and it certainly looks like a significant hamstring injury," Dr Peter Brukner confirmed on Liverpool FC's website.

"He's just heading off for a scan as we speak and we should have the results of that tonight.

"He's going to be out for a little while, I'm afraid. I'd imagine it could be three to four weeks."
