Daniel Agger Set To Go Under The Knife As Liverpool Boss Benitez Faces More Defensive Worry


Daniel Agger faces up to two months on the sidelines after being booked in for surgery on his back injury.

The Liverpool centre-back will have an operation in France on Tuesday and has pencilled in Denmark's World Cup qualifiers with Sweden and Hungary in the middle of October for his comeback.

Rafa Benitez is short of cover after he missed out on his main defensive target Matthew Upson.

Benitez realised the extent of his cash restraints when the bank blocked a proposed £17million bid for West Ham centre-back Upson, though he did succeed with a near-£2m move for AEK Athens defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos.
