Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will be sidelined for up to four weeks after undergoing successful surgery on a groin problem. Gerrard was not part of the Reds squad which travelled to Portugal for Thursday night's Europa League last-16 clash with Braga and it has now been revealed he is set for an extended spell on the sidelines. A club statement read: "LFC can confirm Steven Gerrard has undergone successful surgery on his groin and will be out for up to four weeks. "The decision was made following consultation with a specialist." If he is out for four weeks he will not feature for England in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales later this month or the friendly against Ghana which follows it.
