Premier League - Kuyt sustains 'serious injury'

Tue, 12 Oct 23:24:00 2010

Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has been taken to hospital with a serious ankle injury sustained during Netherlands' Euro 2012 qualifier against Sweden.

The Dutchman had to come off just before the half-hour mark in the Group E match when he landed awkwardly after jumping for a ball with Sweden's Daniel Majstorovic.

"Dirk wanted to play on but our doctor prevented that and told me to substitute him," Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk said after his side's 4-1 win.

"He is now in a hospital but following the doctor's first opinion it could be very serious and keep him sidelined for a long time."

The unlucky Kuyt had to pull out of the squad preparing for Euro 2012 qualifying matches in September after injuring his shoulder during a training session with the national team.

Meanwhile defender Daniel Agger, making his comeback from a groin problem, lasted only 39 minutes of Denmark's game against Cyprus.

According to the Liverpool website, both players will be assessed on their return to Melwood before any decision is made about the weekend, when they face local rivals Everton at Goodison Park..

  3. I dont think liverpool will miss kuyt at all he just­ runs around like a headless chicken, this could be the­ chance to bring in a decent striker, they should have­ signed bent when they had the chance instead of letting­ him go to a smaller club like sunderland

  14. Elrosso. You are sick in the head, you obviously­ haven't got a brain cell in there. You are just a­ nasty nasty person.

  15. Stephen Gerrard was the best player on the pitch last­ night, what to happened to the rest of the premier­ league players.. Along with Glen Johnson, those­ two shone.. The others paled into just ordinary.. ­ I suggest you all take a look at your hero's, and­ maybe you should be worrying about your own team's­ players instead of posting @#$% about Liverpool.. ­ They will survive & become a strong force again,­ but then maybe that's what you are all worried­ about.

  16. Hope 9 points deduction will not follow this horrible­ Red new?
