Steven Gerrard klev ut skadad i gårdagens träningslandskamp mot Frankrike. 30-åringen slog sliten ut, men han spelade ändå 85 minuter.

Detta har fått Liverpool att reagera. Darren Burgess, som är ansvarig för Liverpools fysträning, totalsågar FA på sin twitter: “Unbelievable from all associated with England and English FA with regards to SG’s injury. Completely ignored agreement and past history.

“Completely amateurish and now we pay for their incompetence. Absolutely disgraceful.”

Fabio Capello svarade på Liverpools attack: “We spoke with Steve and said he would play one hour, but after Barry’s injury we had some problems.

“That was the reason he stayed on the pitch. If it’s possible, the players will play the time we agreed with the club.

“But Barry was really injured, so we needed someone senior on the pitch because it was a young team. He said he was good, so, for that  reason, it’s good. We’re upset about what happened to Steve, of course.

“It’s a problem behind his thigh. We’ll have to wait on a scan. They asked that he can play one hour if it’s possible.

“They can’t decide how long a player plays with the national team. If it’s possible, he’d have played an hour.

“I understand why they’re upset, and I’m also upset.

“The problem is that, when you play this game on Wednesday after a lot of Premier League, Europa League or Champions League games, it’s possible there might be an injury for a player. The Premier League, every time, is a tough league for the players. Barry has an ankle problem, and Rio stopped because the muscle was ‘tough’. I don’t know where. In two days, he’ll be fit to play, I think, because he’s not injured.”
