iverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is on course to return sooner than expected from a shoulder injury.[LNB] The 30-year-old sustained the problem on international duty just over a fortnight ago and was expected to be out of action for a month.[LNB]However, manager Roy Hodgson believes the Dutchman could be selected in Saturday's squad to face Sunderland or feature on next week's Europa League trip to Kuyt's former club Utrecht.[LNB]"Dirk has trained the last couple of days," said Hodgson.[LNB]"We're trying to protect him a little bit but he's made a remarkable recovery, so it'll be interesting to see how he progresses on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in relation to Saturday's game and the game next Thursday.[LNB]"We thought three to five weeks, so we're at the quick end of the scale."[LNB]
