"Helander will be missing,"
Gerrard said at.
"He has had surgery in the last 24-48 hours to fix an issue that they spotted when they went inside to have a look so he will be missing for the foreseeable future.
"The rest is as it was so we are in good health besides Fil.
I've not had a chance to speak to Fil post-surgery but I will do as soon as possible to see how he is mentally and physically.
