Kuyt Set To Return In A Month

Liverpool and Dirk Kuyt have both been handed a boost by the news that he could return within a month. It was feared that Dirk would require surgery on his ankle injury, that could've seen him miss a large amount of the season, however a second scan has revealed the damage isn't as extensive as first feared, as he explained: 'I had a second scan and the doctor has now told me that they do not need to operate on my ankle. That is such a relief. 'The doctor says I could be back in the Liverpool team within one month.' Initial thoughts to the injury, suffered on international duty with the Dutch, were that the 30 year old could be facing five months on the sidelines so this is a much better diagnosis. With the right level of rest and physiotherapy we could see the Dutch international back by December, which is something the forward can't wait to do so he can help out his teammates again.
