Liverpool defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glen-Johnson-c15050 during a league match.
The Danish International collided heavily with Johnson, as both the players attempted to challenge Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 simultaneously.
Agger came out second best from the challenge, as it appeared that he had damaged his ligament.
He was consequently stretchered off the field. He missed out on the Reds Capital One Cup fixture against West Bromwich Albion last week.
However, medical scans revealed that the defender had only suffered a minor fracture in his knee, and got the green signal from the doctors to start his training.
Even though it was expected that he will miss out on the action for almost two weeks, the 27-year old made a speedy recovery and started in the Reds 5-2 drubbing of Norwich City on Saturday.
Agger unearthed that he took a sigh of relief after finding out that his injury was of minor nature.
He explained that after colliding with Johnson, he could not even stand on his feet, and feared that the worst had happened.
The Dane’s Anfield career has been marred by a spate of fitness problems, ever since he joined the Merseyside club in January, 2006.
“When I tried to get up the muscle in my knee just didn’t work. I felt really unsteady and the medical staff thought I had done my ligaments,” he said.
“I thought it was a bad one and that I would be out for months. But, thankfully, it was just a really hard knock to the knee.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, who started their EPL campaign shakily, recorded their first league win of the season at the Carrow Road on Saturday.
Luis Suarez captured a hat-trick as the men in red pounded the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 to lift themselves to the 14th spot in the table.
Although Agger was all praise for the team, he insisted that there was still a lot of room for improvement, and was critical of the defenders for conceding two goals.
“The only disappointment was the goals we conceded. That’s something we definitely have to work on,” he added.
