Steve Gerrard Charged With Assault

Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain and England international footballer, has been charged with assault and affray, following a brawl outside a Merseyside nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning.

Merseyside police said the 28-year-old midfielder, who has 70 caps for his country, was charged this morning along with two other men who had also been arrested after a "disturbance" outside a late-night bar in Southport, Merseyside.

The venue's DJ, a 34-year-old local man, required hospital treatment after suffering facial injuries.

The footballer may now face disciplinary action from his club; sources at Liverpool told The Times yesterday that Rafael BenÍtez, the club manager and a noted disciplinarian, would consider taking action if Gerrard were charged with any offence.

The question is, will this affect his performance in the coming months?
