Jamie Carragher is expected to miss the first two months of next season after undergoing knee surgery in America.

"The operation in America was a success but Jamie will not be available for pre-season," said Houllier.

"I expect it will be about four months before he is available to play again.

"He needed surgery to repair the patella tendon. The problem was his kneecap but the operation went well."
