Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will miss the first leg of the club’s Europa League last-16 tie away to Braga.\n<\/p>\n

Gerrard has not been included in a 24-man squad which has travelled to Portugal for Thursday’s European encounter.<\/p>\n

The England midfielder has recently returned from a groin injury and appeared to be playing within himself during Sunday’s 3-1 win over Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old’s participation in the victory over United had been in doubt prior to kick-off amid reports Gerrard had picked up a knock in training.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the game against Braga, Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has opted against taking any further risks with his skipper’s fitness.<\/p>\n

Record signing Andy Carroll is in the squad and the striker is in line to make his European bow after making his Liverpool debut as a substitute against United.<\/p>\n

Fellow January arrival Luis Suarez has also travelled with the party, although he is ineligible after featuring for Ajax earlier in the competition.<\/p>\n

Martin Kelly and Jonjo Shelvey have also flown out to Portugal, despite the young duo currently being unavailable for selection due to injury.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
