Gerrard declares himself fit

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard has announced that he will be fit for Wednesday in the clash between England and Russia at Wembley for Euro 2008 Qualification.

Gerrard was taken off 20 minutes before the end of the match with Israel after playing through the pain with a broken toe.

The Liverpool captain was only suffering from a bout of cramp caused by his lack of recent training after picking up the toe problem three weeks ago.

Gerrard said, "The toe is fine. There is no reaction. I'm fit for Wednesday no problem. I am really pleased with how the toe is feeling at the moment."

England's main injury worry remains midfielder Owen Hargreaves and they will be hoping he can resume training this afternoon as he battles a thigh problem
