Steven Gerrard faces the prospect of another lengthy lay-off as his injury nightmare continues.
The Liverpool captain could be out of action for up to two months after suffering an infection which flared up his right ankle on the eve of his side's trip to West Bromwich Albion.
Gerrard came through last weekend's 1-1 draw with Norwich unscathed but missed the Reds' win at the Hawthorns on Saturday night due to recovering from surgery in hospital.
As a result, he faces a potential four weeks on the sidelines before he can return to training as he bids to put his career back on track after an injury-hit six months.
Gerrard has spent large parts of 2011 struggling with a groin problem which required two rounds of corrective surgery before an infection sidelined him for an additional two months.
