England's Steven
Gerrard has been cleared to travel to Sweden for a friendly despite a
knock to his knee. P
Steven Gerrard has been cleared to travel with the England squad to Sweden
for Wednesday's friendly having undergone a precautionary scan on a
knee injury suffered against Chelsea on Sunday, the Football Association
has confirmed.
Gerrard will become the sixth Englishman to win 100 caps after being passed fit. Gerrard took a knock on the knee during Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. England are already without five players including Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott.
"Gerrard is expected to be fit to travel to Sweden," the FA said on Monday.
While Gerrard, 32, could be winning his 100th cap, his 17-year-old Liverpool team mate Raheem Sterling could win his first as could Everton's Leon Osman, 31.
Osman, who played for England as a schoolboy, was a surprise inclusion in the squad, but told reporters while he was looking forward to winning his first cap he was delighted his old rival Gerrard was about to join the century club.
"It's fantastic, there's only a select band that has managed to do it and he certainly deserves to be in that crew. He is a fantastic player and leader of men."
