Kuyt Hopeful Of Return Against Utrecht

Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has admitted he is in the dark as to when he will be fit to return to action, but has not given up hope of getting the green light to face former club Utrecht in the Europa League at the end of the month.

The Dutchman damaged his shoulder on international duty and was told it could be six weeks before he is back in action.

He is working on a tailored rehabilitation program, but is in unsure as to when he will be allowed to take part in contact activities.

"I am very disappointed to be injured as you miss games like this [Steaua Bucharest] and the one coming up at the weekend [Manchester United]," Kuyt told Five.

"It is difficult to say how long it will take to heal. It is normally four to six weeks, but I am hoping to be back for the Utrecht game.

"So far it is going well and I am trying to work hard."

Kuyt began his career at Utrecht before moving to Feyenoord in 2003 and on to Anfield three years later.
