Kuyt injury boost
Dirk Kuyt's injury isn't as bad as first feared. Kuyt still faces a month or so on the sidelines but that's not as bad as first feared. When the forward returned from international duty he was expected to be out until after Christmas but Liverpool FC's medical team quickly assessed Dirk and realised things weren't as bad as they initally seemed. "The initial rumours coming out of Holland were that it was going to be a really long injury, maybe months," said Roy Hodgson. "But our Doctor and our sports science people are much more optimistic. They think it is more likely to be one month - or if we are lucky three weeks. "He seriously twisted his ankle with ligament damage and we are going to miss him for some matches that's for sure. "He does recover very quickly and the thing about Dirk is that he is always anxious to get back on the football field. If it can done in three weeks it will be three. If it can be two he'll do it in two - but we are looking at a lay-off. "It's disappointing because it is the second time he has gone away with the national team and come back and missed weeks for us."
