Liverpool captain
Steven Gerrard is facing civil
action in the courts.
The Guardian says Gerrard may face further disruption
to his season after the man he punched in a nightclub said he was
considering launching a civil action against the player and six of
his friends.
Gerrard was cleared of affray last month following the fracas
with the businessman Marcus McGee, but six of the
Liverpool midfielder's friends
received suspended jail terms and community service.
McGee, 34, who lost a front tooth and suffered facial cuts in
the fight last December, said he has told lawyers to begin civil
action for compensation for the injuries he received.
The father of two said: "I've got dental bills and legal fees
arising from what happened. But, more importantly, I don't think
justice was properly served.
"I still can't believe that they all walked free – that they
effectively got away with beating me up."
