Midfielder Steven Gerrard has finally shrugged off his long term injury problems according to his osteopath.

Philippe Boixel, who Gerrard has been visiting once a month in France, said: "You can say he is cured of that trouble. He can now play as often as Liverpool wish him to. Steven is a fit young man again."

Although Boixel has given the England midfielder the all clear, Gerrard will still be monitored closely.

"These players are like Formula One cars. They need constant attention to ensure they deliver peak performance. The repetition and high intensity of matches means their bodies must always be under review," added Boixel.
