Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard out for four weeks with hamstring injury Liverpool's Steven Gerrard talks to a member of the club's medical staff. Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard will be out for at least four weeks with a hamstring injury, leaving the English Premier League title chaser without the England star for the busy Christmas period. Gerrard pulled up with a hamstring problem during the 4-1 win over West Ham last weekend and limped out of the game in the 56th minute. "Steven is, as reported, probably going to be up to about four weeks or so," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed to liverpoolfc.com. So he'll go through an extensive treatment program over the next number of weeks and hopefully we can get him back that little bit sooner. Gerrard, who has helped steer Liverpool to second spot in the table, will miss the games against Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea, Cardiff City and Hull City.
