Liverpool striker desperate to play against first club? Kuyt injured shoulder attempting overhead kick in training/ppDirk Kuyt has not given up hope of making an emotional return to Utrecht later this month despite being ruled out for four weeks with a shoulder injury./ppThe Liverpool striker is expected to be absent until Blackpool visit Anfield on 3 October after scans revealed the extent of the injury he suffered in training with Holland on Monday. "Dirk has damaged his shoulder at the A-C joint, which is between the collar bone and the shoulder," said Dr Peter Brukner, Liverpool's Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science. "He is likely to be out for four weeks."/ppKuyt's injury is a serious setback for manager Roy Hodgson, who is scheduled to lose the Dutch international for Premier League games against Birmingham City, Sunderland and Manchester United, a Carling Cup tie with Northampton Town plus Europa League group matches against Steaua Bucharest and Utrecht. Hodgson is short of options in right midfield, where Kuyt usually operates, and also lacks cover for Fernando Torres after Liverpool failed to sign a much-needed striker before the recent transfer deadline./ppThe 30-year-old started his professional career with Utrecht, where he made 160 appearances and won the only trophy of his career so far ? the 2003 Dutch Cup, and is understandably desperate to return when Liverpool travel to Holland on 30 September./ppKuyt, who is believed to have sustained the injury while attempting a bicycle kick, said: "I hope I will make it [for Utrecht] but it all depends on how the injury heals in the first few days. I knew I'd put something out and I pushed it back, but afterwards I was in a lot of pain so I went to the hospital where they found I had torn muscles. I have made a thousand of these moves without any problems. It is very frustrating."/ppHodgson now has only David Ngog, who has impressed in the early weeks of the season, Ryan Babel, who was offered in exchange for West Ham United's striker Carlton Cole on transfer deadline day, and 19-year-old Daniel Pacheco to ease the burden on Torres during Kuyt's absence. Joe Cole, however, will be available following Liverpool's trip to Birmingham on Sunday when he completes a three-match suspension for his dismissal against Arsenal on the opening day of the season./pdiv class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/liverpool"Liverpool/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/utrecht"Utrecht/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/holland"Holland/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/uefa-europa-league"Europa League/a/li/ul/divdiv class="author"a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/andyhunter"Andy Hunter/a/divbr/div class="terms"a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a andcopy; Guardian News and Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms and Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/feeds"More Feeds/a/divp style="clear:both" / lfclive177846Tue, 7 Sep 2010 21:36:21 GMT Dirk Kuyt will miss Liverpool FC's first two UEFA Europa League group games after being ruled out for four weeks with a shoulder injury, including a return to former club FC Utrecht. lfclive177837Tue, 7 Sep 2010 17:30:53 GMT http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/UKFootballNews/~3/NXZuzGknbcA/LDE68615P.php LONDON, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt will be out of action for four weeks after injuring his shoulder on international duty for the Netherlands, the Premier League club said on Tuesday lfclive177812Tue, 7 Sep 2010 14:20:18 GMT http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2146441,00.html Liverpool have confirmed Dirk Kuyt will miss the next four weeks with a shoulder injury lfclive177810Tue, 7 Sep 2010 13:25:27 GMT http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/7986504/Liverpools-Dirk-Kuyt-out-for-four-weeks.html Liverpool winger likely to miss six games including Europa League trip to former club FC Utrechta with shoulder injury. lfclive177802Tue, 7 Sep 2010 13:25:22 GMT http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/sep/07/dirk-kuyt-liverpool-holland-injured div class="track"img alt="" src="http://hits.guardian.co.uk/b/ss/guardiangu-feeds/1/H.20.4/79457?ns=guardianandpageName=Liverpool+confirm+Dirk+Kuyt+will+miss+next+four+weeks+with+shoulder+inju%3AArticle%3A1448367andch=Footballandc3=GU.co.ukandc4=Liverpool+FC+%28Football%29%2CFootball%2CHolland+football+team%2CSportandc5=Football+World+Cup%2CEuropa+Leagueandc6=Press+Associationandc7=10-Sep-07andc8=1448367andc9=Articleandc10=Newsandc11=Footballandc13=andc25=andc30=contentandh2=GU%2FFootball%2FLiverpool" width="1" height="1" //divp class="standfirst"?
