Gerrard sets two-month Reds comeback target

DEFIANT Steven Gerrard believes he will be back in action within the next two months despite fears he could be sidelined until Christmas.

The Liverpool captain and England midfielder fractured a metatarsal bone in his foot in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on Monday.

Similar injuries to other players have seen them ruled out for around four months, but Gerrard remains positive - even though he will definitely miss England’s World Cup qualifying matches against Wales and Azerbaijan next month.
