Gerrard back at weekend
Steven Gerrard will be fit to face Fulham on Saturday. The captain has recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up on international duty and should be okay to face Fulham at Anfield this weekend. "Steven's on track for the weekend," confirmed Roy Hodgson. "He's worked very hard to get back and Steven and Jamie Carragher are the type who hate not playing. "Steven has been determined to get back as quickly as possible and the physios are happy with him and he feels quite good. "The big question when a player has a hamstring injury or a slight pull is when do you actually say he is totally fit and give him the go-ahead to play? "We have to be careful there is no risk of the injury reoccurring and I am in the hands to some extent of the sports science people as to when he can come back. "I take their word for it and I can't really push the subject because I would be devastated if we brought him back too early, but he still hopes he will be fit to play some part in the game against Fulham and so am I. "We are training on Tuesday, Wednesday is a day off for those who won't be playing against Utrecht and if he is going to start the game against Fulham I definitely want him back training with us on Thursday, that's for sure. "That's the deadline but I am still hopeful he can take some part in our training today."
