He limped off yesterday. Didn't look to serious but the way he's playing at the moment we could do with him firing on all cylindars on Sunday, especially as the centre of the park is where Chelsea seemed to be weakest at the minute. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_2664759,00.html
Just on the news on the radio that he has a hairline fracture in his toe but he will be fit for sunday!
Gerrard passed fit for Liverpool Gerrard was given a tough time by Toulouse Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has a hairline fracture of his toe but will be fit to face Chelsea on Sunday. However, manager Rafael Benitez said the midfielder is unlikely to be available for England's friendly against Germany on Wednesday. "I think he'll be available for Sunday, but if we push him for that he will have to rest afterwards," said Benitez. Gerrard, 27, took a painful crack on his right foot during the Champions League tie with Toulouse. Interview: Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez He was substituted after 61 minutes. Benitez said: "It's not serious but we have to be careful. It's not a big risk but we can push him and then he needs rest. "He will need an injection but then he can play without pain against Chelsea. "I now have to talk to [England coach] Steve McClaren, but he has to understand playing Steven for England will be a big risk for his future."
Badly need him in the middle on Sunday, reports seem to be positive enough... Oh God, does this mean we have to listen to Jamie Redknapp going on about modern boots again? I think I'll watch with volume off on Sunday...
The game is on TV8 Turkey as well, you should ask Dave in the Quad to switch over to that channel. Fair enough the presenters will all look like Borat and will be speaking Turkish, but they'll make a lot more sense than Jamie Redknapp ever would
true and im a big pennant fan i just think he will go with the chief and xabi in the middle and probably babel left if harry is still out with kuyt and el nino up front..
To quote Lurch - I've given up trying to second guess Rafa's teams / formations The one good thing is unlike the past, this season we have several options available and we can omit "first team" players and replace them with players of similar quality
exactly.. sunday is a massive day for us because i think city will take something of the vermin and no reason why we wont beat the chavs
