Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt set for several weeks on the sidelines after picking up shoulder injury in Netherlands 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.

He'll shake that off with a reboot.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

He'll be back in time for the November internationals probably

 

There's one auxillery striker gone.

[mofus77]

I didn't even think this was possible...

[Tones]

Injured? Dirk? Are you sure?

[anfield11]

I love internationals.....they're great!!!

[fred]

Injured? Dirk? Are you sure?

 

I don't see how doing his shoulder would stop Dirk from playing, that's for sure.

Tick follows tock.

 

Don't sign a new striker, and watch the current options we have get injured. Was inevitable.

It's ok 'cos we nearly signed someone and the money is sitting the player account gathering interest until we swoop in January. Our scouts and Mr Purslow will be working non-stop to indentify potential players for us to 'just miss' - it's not easy you know. In the meantime, we've got Roy and Joe Cole to keep us warm during this early autumnal chill.

Is this the first sort of 'semi-serious' injury Dirk's had during his time here?

Is there anyone posting on here who doesn't think it was disgraceful that we ended up without a quality back-up striker yet again?

 

Is there anyone on here saying, no worries we've got Roy Hodgson and Joe Cole we don't need a back up striker?

 

Or am I misunderstanding you and you are just venting your spleen at the owners and purslow? - in which case fairy nuff

[Red Lecter]

Good job we've got a couple of spare strikers and wide attackers.

[Sion]

Its okay, there's only 20 odd games till Jan when we'll have £20m to spend

He's not injured, he's just less fit.

[TheLa]

It's just a good job he doesn't play for England, then I'd be truly gutted...

[Tosh]

That might impact his pace.

[richwilks]

I can imagine the uproar if Aquilani had a sprained shoulder.

[Falconhoof]

It will be interesting to see how we adapt to that.

 

We could give Babel a run of games on that wing

[fyds]

He'll shake that off with a reboot.

 

Can't see him being out for that long. He's made of windmills and clogs ffs.

[MFletcher]

Maxi should now play on the right. Babel should be left on the bench.

[David Hodgson]

It will be interesting to see how we adapt to that.

Yes ! Hot on the heals of his sensational performance in the testimonial. RyBabs is on fire and Roy can't hold him back any longer.

Were they chanting his name in Peter Kavanagh's for hours after?

 

I read in the match thread, you went there afterwards. I miss that little old pub.
