Kuyt Could Miss Rest Of Season After Injury

The Dutchman was taken off in
the 29th minute during his side's
4-1 victory over Sweden on
Tuesday night, with coach Bert
van Marwijk suggesting Kuyt
could be on the sidelines for
some time.
'Dirk wanted to play on but our
doctor prevented that and told
me to substitute him,' he said.
'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.'
Kuyt sustained the injury when
he landed awkwardly following
an aerial challenge with Daniel
Majstorovic.
Things got worse for Roy
Hodgson and his struggling
Liverpool squad with the news
that Daniel Agger also limped out
for Denmark.
The centre-back, who has also
been filling in on the left side of
defence, lasted only 39 minutes
after returning from a groin
problem.
However, Hodgson could be set
to receive transfer funds to buy
reinforcements in January after
Tom Hicks and George Gillett
failed in their bid to wrestle back
control of Liverpool, with the club
now set to be sold to either New
England Sports Ventures or Peter
Lim.
