Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard expects to be fit to face Manchester City this weekend after shaking off his groin problem.

Gerrard missed England's friendly with Brazil as he continued his recovery from the niggling injury.

The midfielder, who came off the bench last time out against Birmingham, has used the international break to step up his rehabilitation from the problem and believes he is over the worst.

"I felt very tired after the (Birmingham) game as I wasn't really ready to return," said Gerrard. "I'd done very little training in the three weeks beforehand.

"It took me two or three days to recover from that game but I have spent the past week doing strengthening work.

"I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm looking forward to the weekend. There's no mental hurdle to cross.

"I've had a problem in my groin that has taken a while to get over but I'm just relieved the second injection seems to have done the trick.

"It's a case of so far so good and the aim now is to make sure I get a good week's training under my belt so I'm ready for the game with City."

Frustrating
Gerrard is keen to help Liverpool get back on track after missing a number of key games over the last few weeks.

"Some of the lowest points in my career have come about when I have had to miss big games for Liverpool and England through injury," added Gerrard.

"It's never easy when you have to sit out games against Manchester United or trips away from home in the Champions League.

"If the lads are winning games and doing well, it makes the pain a bit easier so obviously the last couple of weeks have been extra frustrating.

"But I'm feeling good now, a lot stronger than before and it's just a question of getting my match sharpness back now. That is the most important thing."

Could this not have gone in the City game thread?

Hopefully this is the end of his injury problem and the start of our return to form. I am looking forward to seeing Gerrard, Aquilani and Masch play together. I just hope he hasn't come back to early because of our problems.

So you don't think Gerrard's return from injury is important Bav

Don't worry I'm sure it will be moved.

Now if you haven't got anything to contribute to the thread apart from a little whinge, move on.

Jesus wept.....what is it with all the pathetic little whiners on the forum lately ?

What an utterly stupid and pointless comment to make.

Fact: It was a stupid thread to start.
Fact: There's a Citeh thread already open
Fact: You sound infantile with comments like that...

Grow the phuck up, you pillock.... :angry:
