Dirk Kuyt is expected to miss Liverpool's next six games after it was confirmed that he damaged his shoulder on international duty.

The 30-year-old has been denied a place in Roy Hodgson's side for next Sunday's clash with Manchester United as well a return to former club Utrecht when they face Liverpool in the Europa League at the end of this month.

Kuyt suffered the injury whilst landing awkwardly during a training session with Holland and wil also miss the Reds' games against Birmingham City, Sunderland, Steaua Bucharest and the Carling Cup tie with Northampton Town on September 22.

Club doctor Peter Brukner said: "Dirk has damaged his shoulder at the A-C joint, which is between the collar bone and the shoulder. He is likely to be out for four weeks,"
