The Liverpool skipper limped away from practice with a thigh strain, leaving the England boss sweating on his star midfielder's fitness ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Austria on Saturday.
The Football Association's head of media relations Adrian Bevington says a decision will be made on Gerrard after he undergoes treatment on Friday morning.
"Steven Gerrard pulled out of the final 10 minutes of training with a tight groin," said Bevington. "He will receive treatment and will be re-assessed on Friday morning."
When you get the ball, I want you to beat a couple of men and smash the ball into the net, just the same way you used to at Bury," said Shankly. Lindsay replied: "But Boss that wasn't me, it was Bobby Kerr." Shankly turned to Bob Paisley and said: "Christ Bob, we've signed the wrong player."
