Gerrard limps off

Liverpool have been dealt a huge blow with the news that midfielder Steven Gerrard looks set to be out of action for up to two weeks with a groin injury which he sustained during today's game.

Team-mate John Arne Riise also picked-up an injury during the 1-0 win over Chelsea. The Norwegian is going for scans on a foot injury.

Speaking after the game, assistant boss Phil Thompson said: "Stevie felt his groin and couldn't continue and John Arne Riise has had x-rays on a foot injury after the game. Both will have to get further scans and Stevie is out of the England game midweek."
