Breaking News: Liverpool face another injury crisis as Agger out for an extended period of time
Liverpool’s manager Roy Hodgson confirmed in his post match address to the media that Daniel Agger, Liverpool’s twenty five year old defender will be out for a long period of time after being troubled by a calf injury.
Daniel Agger has been seen by many as one of the best centre backs in the world and this caused rumours of him being transferred in the summer transfer window of 2009. The Danish defender was strongly linked with a move away from Liverpool to Real Madrid
in the Spanish Primera Division. In the 2010-2011 club football season, Agger has mostly played as a full back for Liverpool but mainly has been relegated to a bench role however Roy’s latest revelation about the defenders injury problems can haunt Liverpool
in the long run as the English Premier League enters into its most intense period of the season.
Agger last played for Liverpool on September 25th, 2010 when he made a substitute appearance for the Merseyside Reds in their two all draw against Sunderland at Anfield. The young centre back has been out since then with a calf injury, an injury
that seems to have taken its full toll on Agger.
The defender might not require surgery but he has been advised by a specialist in London to refrain from training so that the problem can rectify itself on its natural course. Liverpool won their last Premier League match against Chelsea, an encounter which
was deemed as a crucial one for the club’s hopes of finishing in the top half of the Premier League table come May, 2011.
Hodgson spoke about Agger’s injury after his team’s two goals win over Chelsea saying, "Agger is long-term. They can't put a date on it. At the moment he can't train, he has just got to rest and wait for the next time he goes to see the specialist again.
They are very anxious that bone doesn't form. It is a calcification issue and training would certainly accelerate the calcification. Now they have to wait and hope the body breaks down the calcifying elements before he can even think about training again.
So it could be very long term."
