Reds furious over Gerrard injury
0 
Liverpool accused the English Football Association of incompetence after midfielder Steven Gerrard limped off during Wednesday's friendly against France after playing longer than had been agreed with his club.
England coach Fabio Capello confirmed that Gerrard was only due to play for an hour, but was kept on the pitch longer due to an injury to Gareth Barry during the 1-2 loss.
The midfielder strained his hamstring and was forced off in the 85th minute, immediately provoking an angry response from Darren Burgess, Liverpool's head of fitness and conditioning.
"Unbelievable from all associated with England and English FA with regard to SG's injury," Burgess posted on Twitter. "Completely ignored agreement and past history."
Burgess added in another post: "Absolutely disgraceful."
While Burgess quickly removed his messages, Capello said he understood why Liverpool was upset.
