Gerrard And Agger May Miss Out On Reds' Run-In

Liverpool may be without both Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger for the final seven games of the season as the injury crisis afflicting Kenny Dalglish's side deepened before, during and after this defeat.

Gerrard underwent groin surgery last month and had been in line to return against West Brom, but Dalglish revealed that his captain had suffered a recurrence in training on Friday.

Dalglish said the latest injury was "in the same area of his groin but not the same thing," but it is feared that Gerrard may not recover from the setback in time to feature in any of the remaining games this campaign.

Agger, meanwhile, was substituted in the first half -- along with Glen Johnson -- after sustaining a tendon injury and reports in Denmark yesterday suggested the problem would put an end to the defender's troubled season.

Dalglish is already without Martin Kelly for the remainder of the campaign, while Fabio Aurelio and Johnson have been plagued by niggling complaints.
