Current Liverpool ground missing a part of pitch (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infield

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'current liverpool ground missing a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'part of pitch' is the wordplay.
'part of' becomes 'in' (being in something means being part of it).
'pitch' becomes 'field' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in'+'field'='INFIELD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for infield that I've seen before include "close to batsman?" , "Area inside racetrack" , "down from fence?" , "From part of playing area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
