What I am possibly more concerned about is the ''3 weeks'' statement about a torn hamstring my mate is a physio and says it would possibly be 5 to 6 weeks at a push .. I think shrek has taken 5 weeks to get back because the injury can be damaged even more by progressing with the injury.
The second serious tournament injury involves the hamstring, the thick muscle at the back of the thigh that bends your knee and lifts your leg backwards and upwards.
The hamstring lengthens and acts like a brake when the quads muscle at the front of the thigh contracts to straighten the knee.
If the hamstring is weaker than the quads it can be overloaded during sprinting and may tear or rupture.
This is not a career-threatening injury but recovery from a hammie tear takes about six to eight weeks and a ruptured hamstring may require an operation to repair the torn fibres.
This was taken from the Times online today:
Gerrard’s injury is similar to that suffered by Fernando Torres while on international duty with Spain in October, since when the forward has started only four of Liverpool’s 17 league matches. Torres has had a series of slight setbacks in his rehabilitation — and is perceived by the club to be some way from full fitness as he continues a personal programme to strengthen his hamstrings — so the loss of Gerrard to a similar injury is causing concern at Anfield.
I dont really know but this is a setback whatever we say on here.
