Steven Gerrard is currently sidelined and will miss out on England's crucial opening World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Croatia, both away. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez hopes that his talismanic captain will return for the key Premier League crunch game versus Manchester United.
Steven Gerrard recently underwent a groin operation that ruled him out of England's opening World Cup qualifying campaign. The recovery time is expected to be 15 days leaving him uncertain for the visit of League champions Manchester United on the 13th of September.
Rafa Benitez gave the club's official website an update of Gerrard's progress, he said: "Steven is okay. He's started with bicycle work and will start jogging, so I think he will be ready soon."
Fernando Torres too is doubtful for the United game after a hamstring injury prevented him from Spain's games against Bosnia and Armenia.
Olympic call-ups to Lucas, Ryan Babel, and Javier Mascherano meant that they would return to Liverpool late, but Benitez is optimistic that they will be ready: "I am sure that in a few weeks' time it will be better."
