Gerrard surgery goes to plan

Gerrard was not part of the Reds squad which travelled to Portugal for Thursday night's Europa League last 16 clash with Braga and it has now been revealed he is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

A club statement issued on Friday afternoon read: "LFC can confirm that Steven Gerrard has undergone successful surgery on his groin and will be out for up to four weeks.

"The decision was made following consultation with a specialist."

If he is out for four weeks he will not feature for England in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales later this month or the friendly against Ghana which follows it.
