Dirk Kuyt picked up an injury on Sunday, which leaves him doubtful in his bid to be fit for the Europa League Semi Final second leg against Atletico Madrid.
The Dutchman picked up a calf injury however Rafa isn't ruling him Dirk out just yet, as he explained:
'Kuyt is working with the physio's as he has a small problem with his calf but we will have to wait.'
It would be a blow for us to be without the Dutch international for the Europa League match as we'll need everyone we can to overturn the 1-0 first leg defeat but if we have to do without Dirk we'll have to, it'll be better if we don't though.
In my honest opinion I'm not sure that a calf injury, even if it's only a small problem, will be recovered from in time for Thursday?
Further damage could be caused if any risks are taken and I'm not sure we'll do that with Chelsea to follow on Sunday and a World Cup coming up, which the forward could miss if a chance was taken.
