According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Liverpool will be without their influential captain Steven Gerrard for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Arsenal at Anfield.
The news, if true, will come as a major blow to the Reds' title challenge as they may have to win every remaining game this season to stand a chance of overhauling Manchester United.
Apparently, the England international midfielder aggravated the groin injury he had been suffering from in a training session before the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Chelsea, which he was hoping to make an appearance in.
It is claimed that the Merseyside outfit now fear they may have to challenge for the league title without the 28-year-old, who could also miss the trip to Hull City four days after the Arsenal match.
"In the training session before the Champions League game with Chelsea, Steven aggravated a strain he had previously suffered in his adductor muscle," an inside source at Liverpool is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"A scan has since confirmed our medical team’s initial diagnosis and the player is expected to be out for between seven and ten days."
