Liverpool defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The 27-year old revealed that he was set to miss out the Reds league fixture against the reigning European Champions, as he was not hundred percent fit. However, his partner in the backline, Martin Skrtel, got ill at the eleventh hour, forcing Brendan Rodgers
to play the experienced Agger in the important game.
Consequently, the Denmark International withdrew from his country’s upcoming friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 On Wednesday, saying that he needs time to recuperate from his groin problem. The injury is reported to be of mild nature.
Nonetheless, the defender complained that he should have been rested for the Blues fixture, as playing with an injury could have made things worse for him.
He said that he was forced to feature as a result of late illness to Skrtel and that he would have played no part in the match had the Slovakian International been available.
“I should not have played on Sunday but Skrtel became ill and there was not much I could do. I was thrown into it,” he told the reporters.
“I have a pulled groin. It was something that should have kept me out on Sunday but it did not. I played the game. It takes hopefully only a few days [to recover].”
The game ended in a 1-1 draw after John Terry’s first-half goal was cancelled out by Luis Suarez close to the closing quarter.
Agger, who is currently one of the important players in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884’s Player of the Year.
While speaking to the media upon receiving the accolade, the Dane unravelled his elation on being acknowledged yet again for his services.
He claimed that it was a reward for all the hard work that he has put in recent years despite being marred by scores of injuries. He also said that he was determined to serve his country for many more years to come.
“I have been down and out with injuries but awards like this make me want to keep going. It is my attitude that means I am standing in this position,” he added.
