Daily Mail reported that Steven Gerrard will go to hospital for a scan on his groin today after Chelsea beat Liverpool by 3-1 in Champions League quarter-final at Anfield last night.
The Liverpool captain is said to have left the field at the end of the game against Chelsea in pain and discomfort. Gerrard underwent surgery for his groin injury in August 2008 and it is feared that he may have aggravated the problem. It is also feared Gerrard may would be unavailable for Liverpool’s Premier League title run-in.
TheSun reported, “So many times Liverpool have flourished on European nights at Anfield. There is a special atmosphere about these occasions which brings the best out of their players. But they were blown away and it will take a miracle to turn this around now”.
“Gerrard has never been so quiet. He usually rules the roost but he barely got a kick”.
However, the game was surprisingly entertaining and it was the home side who took an early grip, taking the lead after panic in the Chelsea defence. Liverpool and Chelsea were meeting for a fifth successive year in the Champions League and not many before had been as classics as this one.
Rafa Benitez claimed if his side lost this tie it would be a worry for Manchester United because they could concentrate on trying to beat them in the Premier League title race.
