Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard could have his hopes of getting back into the England team dashed as a result of his fresh injury concerns, according to the Guardian.
The midfielder missed the Merseyside outfit’s win at West Brom last weekend after infection set in on his ankle following a knock in training last week, hampering his recovery from a previous injury and he has not featured in a game for the Reds since their draw with Manchester United over two weeks ago.
Gerrard is understood to have a cast on his ankle and Liverpool are said to be considering the method of treatment on Tuesday, but the setback is threatening 31-year-old’s hopes of taking part in England’s two upcoming friendlies against Spain and Sweden at Wembley, with manager Fabio Capello set to announce his squad for the games on Sunday.
The Italian is expected to choose a more youthful outfit, but if Gerrard were to be fit for the games he could be given the nod after having not appeared for the Three Lions in a year, with his last showing coming against France at Wembley.
