Gerrard has an infected ankle which will keep him out for longer still.
“Steven has got an infection in his ankle,” the Liverpool manager said on Saturday. “He was in our minds for the [West Brom] game and it just flared up. We will be more accurate next week [in terms of a prognosis]. It has nothing to do with any injures before. It’s an infection. I suppose it’s like having an abscess in your mouth.”
