Following Runi, the match with Russia risks missing Stephen Jerrard

The injury of the legs received by Liverpool captain Stephen Jerrard in the match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League against Toulouse may prevent him from playing the national team against the Russian team.

In the 65th minute of the match against Toulouse, Stephen Jerrard was forced to leave the field due to injury and give his place to Mohammed Sissoko, reports Eurosport. The minds of Liverpool fans primarily occupies the next match of the Premier League, where their favorites at Enfield accept Chelsea. It is difficult to say how serious the damage received by Stevi Ji is. In the meantime, the chances of Captain "Reds" for participation in this confrontation are considered as 50 to 50.

Nevertheless, exclamations are already heard that advise Rafael Benitz to give Jerrard the opportunity to recover completely, since not only the club, but also the national team is needed. After the injuries of John Terry and Wayne Runi, the defense and the attack of the national team had already suffered serious losses. If the middle line is also “orphaned”, where Stevi Ji is a leading player, then in matches against the prefabricated Israel and Russia, the wards of Steve McLaren may have serious problems.
