According to Gerard Houllier, however, the Anfield skipper should be ready to lead the line against David O'Leary's fast-improving Aston Villa team.
Houllier said: "Any team, whether it be Liverpool or England, would miss a player of Steven Gerrard's quality.
"He won't be coming with us to Yeovil, that's for sure. I would also say he is very doubtful for our game at Chelsea but I hope he will be back for our match with Aston Villa next weekend."
