Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard will miss the Champions League clash with Girondins Bordeaux tomorrow, manager Rafael Benitez said.
Gerrard damaged his hamstring in Saturday's 1-1 draw with
Blackburn Rovers.
"Steven will not travel. He has a problem with his
hamstring," Benitez told reporters today.
"If it was the last game of the season he would play, but
with Sunday's game (against Manchester United) coming up it is too
much of a risk.
"It is a big loss for us though because Stevie can change
games."
Midfielder Momo Sissoko is likely to play despite a calf
problem, but Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt is a major doubt with an ankle
injury. Striker Robbie Fowler has not travelled to France because
of a back injury.
Liverpool top Group C with four points along with PSV
Eindhoven.
