Dirk Kuyt Injured In Training

Netherlands head coach Bert van
Marwijk has dealt Liverpool a
blow after he declared Dirk Kuyt
would be sidelined for several
weeks with a shoulder injury.
Kuyt, 30, started Friday's 5-0 Euro
2012 qualifying thumping of San
Marino but has been ruled out of
Tuesday's clash against Finland.
De Telegraaf has reported that he
was sent to hospital for scans to
determine the extent of the
damage after he sprained a joint
landing awkwardly stretching to
reach a cross.
Van Marwijk has now confirmed
the attacker has flown back to
Liverpool for further treatment.
He was quoted as saying by
Voetbal Primeur: "He will
probably have a few weeks off
and at 4pm today he will step on
to the plane to Liverpool."
In a costly session for the Dutch,
Kuyt could be joined on the
sidelines by VFB Stuttgart and
former Chelsea defender Khalid
Boulahrouz after he fell victim to
a groin strain.
