During a press conference organised ahead of the clash against Dundee United on Saturday Gerrard confirmed that Aribo will be further out for 4 -6 weeks .

" It is a big blow with Joe (Aribo) he is a player we rate highly, it is actually good news as was a situation that it could have required surgery but he doesn't and we hope he can be back in four weeks. It will be a blow however as he is a major talent.

He has had a setback with an ankle strain and will be missing for 4-6 weeks," he said.
