According to a report in the British tabloid The Daily Mail, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard may have aggravated an old groin injury during Wednesday evening's 3-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat to Chelsea at Anfield.
Apparently, the Reds' captain is set to go to hospital at some point on Thursday to undergo a scan in order to find the true extent of the injury.
The England international midfielder is said to have left the field at the end of the game against Chelsea in some discomfort.
Gerrard underwent surgery to correct a groin injury in August 2008 and it is feared that he may have aggravated the problem.
If the worst is confirmed, Gerrard would be unavailable for Liverpool's Premier League title run-in, in addition to the Champions League quarter-final second leg at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool must score at least three goals in that tie if they are to progress to the semi-finals of the competition.
