Missing: Liverpool must do without Carragher for
around three months
The Liverpool defender, 32, suffered the injury in Sunday's 2-1
defeat at Tottenham.
Carragher underwent tests at the club's training ground
yesterday but medical staff were unable to make a full assessment
until this morning.
He said: "I'll be having surgery at the end of the week. The
average is about 12 weeks.
"I'd like to come back before that but I've got to make sure
it's right.
"It will probably be late February or early March when I'm
looking to come back.
"It's difficult for me when I'm injured. It hasn't happened very
often and I'm very lucky with that I suppose but maybe it's caught
up with me a little bit now.
"I've been here before with a broken leg which put me out this
length of time.
"It's not easy but you've got to get on with it, and it makes
you more determined to get back.
"I'm sure towards the end of the season when people are maybe
feeling a little bit tired I'll be raring to go."
