Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has revealed that the injury defender Daniel Agger sustained during the 2-1 defeat to West Brom at the weekend will keep the Dane out for the rest of the season.
Agger limped off on Saturday at the Hawthorns and the Scot has admitted that the centre-back will be out for at least two months.
The Reds injury problems are escalating as Glen Johnson has also been ruled out for a month with a hamstring issue while the extent Steven Gerrard’s injury still to be determined, giving Dalglish a selection headache as he tries to steer the club towards European football.
“Daniel has a problem with the tendon behind his knee and won’t be involved again this season,” Dalglish told the club’s official website.
“He’ll be out for a couple of months before he can start training.
“Glen Johnson has a hamstring problem which is usually about three or four weeks and it’s the same for Martin Kelly.
“We will know about Steven at the end of the week. He will be assessed and we’ll see what the story is.
“It’s disappointing for the players because they want to play in every game. We’re getting towards the end of the season but if you’re injured you’re injured.
“We feel for them but the most important people at the football club are the ones who are fit and able to play. We have to get on with what we’ve got.
“Fabio Aurelio and Jonjo Shelvey are training again and David Ngog had a game for the reserves on Monday. So we’ve lost some but we’ve got a few back.”
