Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has defended Fabio Capello over the row that has emerged between England and Liverpool over Steven Gerrard's hamstring injury.
The Liverpool captain has been ruled out for up to four weeks with the injury he picked up in the 85th minute of England's 2-1 loss to France on Wednesday.
Gerrard's injury has angered Liverpool, as they only expected the midfielder to play 60 minutes of the international friendly.
Capello says he kept Gerrard on the pitch because of injuries suffered to other players during the game and the Italian has found an ally in Spurs boss Redknapp.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Redknapp said: "It's a shame for Stevie Gerrard but no one's more patriotic than him.
