Liverpool FC play down new injury fears over Daniel Agger
Daniel Agger[LNB]LIVERPOOL today allayed fears Daniel Agger is facing another lengthy spell on the sidelines after he withdrew from Denmark's forthcoming internationals.[LNB]The Reds central defender had been pencilled in by Denmark coach Morten Olsen to play in both their games against South Korea and the United States.[LNB]However, Agger felt a twinge during the 2-2 draw with Birmingham City on Monday night in the same area of his back that forced him to miss the trip to Fulham last month.[LNB]After discussions between the Reds and the Danish FA, it was decided Agger would be best served by staying on Merseyside during the break for treatment.[LNB]Agger missed the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his back but there is no suggestion he is now set to spend a similar period of time on the sidelines.[LNB]Reds officials believe the break will be beneficial for Agger and provided he responds to treatment as they expect, he should start against Manchester City on November 21.[LNB]The news concerning Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera, though, is much more bleak and both midfielders are set for a month on the sidelines after tearing their hamstrings.
