Liverpool’s push for silverware has suffered a massive setback with the news Steven Gerrard could be out for up to three weeks.

Gerrard is having a scan on a hamstring injury after he limped off during Tuesday’s win over Tottenham, and Liverpool fear he could be out until next month.

The Reds have already lost Lucas Leiva for a month from their central midfield and their skipper now faces missing Saturday’s FA Cup trip to Crystal Palace, both legs of a last-32 Europa League tie with Turkey's Besiktas and key Prem clashes with fellow European-spot challengers Southampton and Manchester City.

Gerrard is leaving Anfield at the end of the season when he will move to Major League Soccer's LA Galaxy and will be hoping the scan shows no more serious damage to his hamstring.

The 34-year-old is the club’s top scorer with 10 goals this season and joined Robbie Fowler as Liverpool’s joint fifth all-time leading scorer on 183 with his penalty against Spurs.

Gerrard is set to make his debut for David Beckham's old club in a July 17 California derby against San Jose Earthquakes.

He will wear his iconic No.8 shirt for his new club.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, the former England captain said: "I think it's a match made in heaven really.

"One of the reasons I chose LA Galaxy was because of the success they've had recently.

"I want to finish my career very strong. I want to add some medals and trophies to my collection."

Galaxy coach Bruce Arena, who has led the team to three MLS titles in four years, said: "Steven Gerrard arrives in July and by then we will certainly have a plan available.

"He's a player of quality. I'm not concerned about how he's going to fit in with our team.

"We have a club now with a proven history of success. All those things go hand in hand in making LA Galaxy a very attractive team for players such as Steven Gerrard."
