Last updated : 10 October 2005 By Al Campbell
Gerrard picked up an injury to his shin playing for England against Austria on Saturday. It was originally feared the knock could keep him out for a month but Gerrard has revealed the injury is not as bad as first thought and he could be back in a couple of weeks.

"The injury is not as bad as people are saying. I've heard they're saying on television I'll be out for three weeks, but I think I'll be okay for the Fulahm game [on October 22nd]. I had a scan straight after the match and went to Melwood for treatment yesterday," said the Liverpool captain.
 
"The medical staff are confident I'll be back after the next two games, so that's what I'm aiming for. I picked up the knock during the game and it was a bit of a worry at first, but it's not that serious."
