KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Regarding Gerrard's Injury

Does anybody have any news regarding the extent of Gerrard's injury?

How long would a player with hamstring strain be out assuming there is no tear be out for?

Thx in advance

YNWA

Don't think it's official yet, they still had to do a scan.

didn't look like a major rip, hopefully

on current form (last two games), he'd be badly missed

The difficult bit is trying to play a different way that is still effective without him. I am guessing he felt it go and that if we want him fit for those 2 games at Christmas he may need to miss a couple first.

most fans here been itching to drop him for ages now..can't even begin to imagine why....our flames thinks hendo is the better player lol

So we just play Lucas and Allen then? I's be tempted to play Allen and Hendo as the holding midfielders, as they'd atleast get forward and contribute, as well as providing cover for the defence. Then play Aspas either on the wing or behind Suarez with Coutinho on the wing

Straight swap Allen for sg. Lucas doing what he does.

this is a bad time for tampering with the team

Gerrard will be badly missed, he makes the team tick and I’d expect our attack to be starved of ball when he’s out. If it’s only a strain he won’t miss more than a couple of games but if it’s torn it’ll probably be late Jan or mid Feb.
The sad truth is we don’t have anyone close to being a replacement for him, the joy of running a club on a shoestring and gaggle of cheap youngsters for a squad.
