Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish faces an anxious wait to learn the extent of Steven Gerrard's problems after the midfielder suffered a fresh groin injury in training on Friday.

Gerrard has not played since Liverpool's victory over Manchester United at the beginning of March but was expected to be on the bench for Liverpool's trip to West Brom on Saturday.

However, the midfielder did not travel to the Hawthorns for the Reds' 2-1 defeat after feeling further pain in his groin.

"Steven was training yesterday, ready to be available for today. Then he innocuously tried to turn with the ball, and he felt a sharp pain," said Dalglish said.

"It is the same area of his groin but not the same thing. We will get him assessed and at the end of the week we will know better."
