Update: Gerrard (groin) left Liverpool's Champions League match against Lyon in the 24th minute, apparently due to his groin injury not being fully healed enough for game action. Analysis: Reds fans are hoping the move was an extreme caution by manager Rafa Benitez, as Manchester United looms on the schedule this weekend for Liverpool. Says a lot about the state of Liverpool that they would compromise losing a Champions League match with visions of not slipping any further down the table in the Premiership. 20 Oct 2009 03:38 PM
