Jermain Defoe scored his 17th goal of the season against Ross CountyRangers will "possibly" need to sign a striker before Saturday after Jermain Defoe suffered a calf injury, says manager Steven Gerrard. The 37-year-old forward went off during Wednesday's 2-0 Scottish Premiership victory over Ross County. Alfredo Morelos, who has a calf issue of his own, the only other recognised senior centre forward in the squad. "If it's more than two or three weeks it might affect what we do in the next couple of days," Gerrard said. The manager confirmed that Defoe would have a scan but he is confident that the former England international might not be as badly injured as first feared.
