Liverpool have confirmed that Dirk Kuyt will be out of action for a month, owing to shoulder injury sustained while on international duty with Netherlands.
The Dutchman started for his country during the recent 5-0 victory over San Marino in their first Euro 2012 qualifier, but had been ruled out of contention for the upcoming fixture against Finland after an awkward landing in training resulted in injury
Netherlands boss Bert van Marwijk had previously maintained that the attacker could be out for "a few weeks", and the Merseyside club have now confirmed the same.
A statement on the club's official website reads: "Dirk Kuyt will be out of action for four weeks with a shoulder injury, Liverpool Football Club can confirm.
"The club's medical team examined the Dutchman following his early return from international duty yesterday."
Dr Peter Brukner said: "Dirk has damaged his shoulder at the A-C joint, which is between the collar bone and the shoulder. He is likely to be out for four weeks."
Kuyt is now expected to miss the Europa League fixture against Steaua Bucharest, while he will also likely remain sidelined for the game against Manchester United on September 19.
But, judging by the timeline, he should be fit in time for the Merseyside derby next month.
