Kuyt Bemoans Injury To Torres


Dirk Kuyt concedes the loss of striker Fernando Torres is a major blow for Liverpool, with their next match at home to Manchester United.

Torres damaged a hamstring in the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa on Sunday, and the club have since confirmed the injury will rule him out for between two and three weeks - making it highly unlikely he will be fit to face the champions in the Premier League clash at Anfield on September 13.

Kuyt could well take a more central striking role in Torres' absence, and said: "Fernando is one of the best players in the world and obviously he will be a huge loss to us.

"But at Villa we handled the loss well. We re-grouped and showed tremendous team spirit.

"It is something we will have to do against United if Fernando does not make it."
