Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard has been ruled out for four weeks with a groin injury.
The 30-year-old underwent successful surgery on the problem and will not return until mid-April on the advice of a specialist.
Reports suggested the Reds captain could miss Sunday’s win over Manchester United after he was believed to have picked up the injury in training last Friday, but he played in the match before being left out for the Europa League loss to Braga.
Gerrard will now miss the return leg against Braga, Premier League matches against Sunderland and West Brom, England’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales and an international friendly against Ghana.
A statement on Liverpool’s official website read: “LFC can today 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.”
The midfielder has made 24 appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring eight goals.
