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."
