Gerrard out for up to four weeks

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard has undergone groin surgery and will be out for up to four weeks.

Gerrard was not part of the Reds squad which travelled to Portugal for Thursday night's Europa League last 16 tie with Braga and it has now been revealed he is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The Reds skipper clearly played at less than 100 per cent in last Sunday's win over Manchester United and the previous weekend's defeat to West Ham United.

Successful Surgery
A club statement issued on Friday afternoon read: "LFC can today confirm that Steven Gerrard has undergone successful surgery on his groin and will be out for up to four weeks.
"The decision was made following consultation with a specialist."
If he is out for four weeks he will not feature for England in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales later this month or the friendly against Ghana which follows it.
