Agger sets return date
Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is targeting a possible return to action by the end of March.[LNB] The 24-year-old has had an injury-ravaged season and has played just twice in 2009 with a back injury the latest problem to hold him back.[LNB]The Denmark international's last outing came in the Reds' 3-2 success at Portsmouth at the start of February but the centre-back is upbeat with a return to training imminent.[LNB]Agger is eyeing Denmark's World Cup qualifying games against Malta on the 28th March and then Albania four days later as possible dates for a comeback.[LNB]"Hopefully I'll be back soon. I'll start training any day now," he told Sporten.dk.[LNB]"As it seems, and what I hope, is to be fit for the international games, which seems reasonable as I feel a lot better for the last couple of games.[LNB]Concern"I was at a stage where I didn't know what we were going to do and that concerned me.[LNB]"Of course my mind wandered off, thinking that I might be out for a long time. But you have to take things as they come, and the last couple of days have really been good.[LNB]"I've been undergoing good treatment and tried new exercises."[LNB]Meanwhile Denmark national team boss Morten Olsen has admitted that he is keeping a close eye on the defender as he looks to select his squad for the two upcoming games.[LNB]"I follow him closely day to day and know that it is his back injuries that keep him away from the pitch since the game against Greece," he told Onside.dk.[LNB]"No (I haven't spoken to him) I've been abroad the last days and haven't had the time yet. I only have two feet and two hands, but during the week we will contact him and on Tuesday we will select the squad."[LNB]
