THE English Football Association will compensate Liverpool for the hamstring injury Steven Gerrard suffered playing for England against France on Wednesday.
The Liverpool skipper is set to be sidelined for up to four weeks with compensation estimated by British media to be around 500,000 pounds (US$800,000) to cover the cost of his wages. In a statement yesterday, the FA said: "The FA have in place comprehensive insurance to cover injuries sustained to players on international duty. Liverpool do not need to pursue us for compensation as our insurers will cover the wages for Liverpool as this was clearly a legitimate injury." Gerrard limped off after 85 minutes of England's 1-2 friendly loss to France at Wembley.
