Liverpool to assess Steven Gerrard after midfielder hobbled off with hamstring tweak

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers faces an anxious wait before he will know the severity of a hamstring injury picked up by Steven Gerrard on Saturday afternoon.

Rodgers did not give any clues as to the gravity of the injury after the England captain hobbled off half-way through the second period of Liverpool's comfortable 4-1 home win over West Ham United.

The Reds boss said in his post-game television interview: "I think we just need to assess that in the next day or so. Hopefully it is just a strain.”

"He was outstanding in his performance, the quality of his passing, but when he went to get that pass he felt a little tweak."
