Reds Wait On Duo Fitness

Liverpool face an anxious wait to assess the fitness of Dirk Kuyt and Daniel Agger after the pair limped out of the action during the Euro 2012 qualifiers on Tuesday night.

Kuyt started for Holland but was stretchered off and replaced by Jermain Lens after 29 minutes, while Agger returned from a groin injury but only lasted 39 minutes for Denmark before he had to replaced by former Everton defender Per Kroldrup.

Christian Poulsen captained the Danes and played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 win over Cyprus in Copenhagen, and Holland beat Sweden 4-1.

Both Kuyt and Agger will be assessed now when they return to Melwood to see whether they will be available for Sunday's Merseyside derby.

Raul Meireles enjoyed a great night for Portugal when scored a fantastic goal for Portugal in their 3-1 win in Iceland.

Liverpool's No.4 was impressive throughout and let fly with a rocket of a shot from over 30 yards out that flew into the net. He played the full 90 minutes.

Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson played the full 90 minutes for England against Montenegro at Wembley but it was a frustrating night as the match ended goalless.

Joe Cole didn't make the bench.

Pepe Reina also didn't make the bench as Spain won a five-goal thriller 3-2 against Scotland in Glasgow.

Martin Skrtel didn't play because of suspension as Slovakia drew 1-1 with the Republic of Ireland. Former Red Robbie Keane missed a penalty for the Irish.

Milan Jovanovic also didn't feature as Serbia's match in Italy was abandoned after eight minutes because of crowd trouble.
