Steven Gerrard’s recent withdrawal from the England squad will not prevent the talismanic midfielder from starting Liverpool’s game against Tottenham this weekend according to the Liverpool Daily Post.
Gerrard pulled out of tonight’s friendly with Holland due to a slight groin strain, despite training with the England squad on Monday. Capello recently suggested he would like to have played Gerrard, but in his absence Aston Villa star Ashley Young will be given an opportunity to shine.
The early indications suggest Gerrard will start the Premier League game at the weekend, giving Rafa Benitez a timely boost ahead of a crucial season for the Reds.
Gerrard’s teammates Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger are all major doubts for the game at White Hart Lane, while concerns remain over Fernando Torres’ fitness.
