Liverpool’s progress to the Champions League group stage has
come at a cost after Rafael Benitez revealed that Steven
Gerrard will undergo a groin operation on Thursday.
The Reds boss admitted it was a blow to lose his skipper but
is hopeful he will make a speedy recovery after he played the
full 120 minutes of Liverpool's extra-time win at home to
Standard Liege.
"I'm disappointed because Gerrard will have an operation
tomorrow," he said.
"He has a groin problem. We knew it could be like this and I
was surprised when I was reading some of the newspapers saying
he has to play and has to start. Now he will have an operation
and will be out for 10-15 days.
"It isn't too long but he needs to have it because he has been
having pain with it. When he went with the national team we
knew he had a problem and in the first-leg too.
"I was talking with the doctor yesterday and today we talked
with him (Gerrard). He said he would play with pain and after
it he would have an operation.
"He knew he had to keep going tonight and did so because he
knew he was having it tomorrow."
