Steven Gerrard could be sidelined for up to six weeks according to reports circulating today.
As reported yesterday, Steven Gerrard is due to have an operation on his groin injury today with Rafa stating that he hoped to have his captain back within 10-15 days. However, there are reports today which consult specialists on the surgery, that suggest that Gerrard could well face a longer spell out of action.
According to Nicola Maffulli of the British Orthopaedic Association – “the least possible time is 15 days, but a more realistic time is at least three to six weeks.”
Any prolonged absence would rule Gerrard out of the home clash with Man United on September 13 and the Merseyside derby with Everton on September 27.
