Agger - great news
Reds solve Daniel Agger injury riddle
Mar 19 2008 EXCLUSIVE by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo
THE operation to cure Daniel Agger's longstanding foot problem has been declared a success by surgeons.
The Danish international has been out of first team action for Liverpool since breaking a metatarsal last September.
He has attempted a comeback on two separate occasions, but after training and playing for the reserves, Agger told Liverpool's physios that he was still feeling pain in his foot and it was decided that surgery was the only option.
Agger went under the knife on Monday afternoon and surgeons discovered a piece of floating bone which they believe was the source of his ongoing discomfort.
The 23-year-old defender will now return to Melwood to begin his rehabilitation with a view to being fit in time for the start of next season, although a comeback ahead of schedule before the end of this season has not bee ruled out.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is delighted that the problem finally appears to have been solved.
He said: "Daniel was reporting some pain in his foot so it was decided that he would go for an operation.
"He has now had that operation and the surgeons believe they have found out what was causing him the pain.
"Daniel has more confidence now that the operation is over..
"The doctors have told me that in a normal situation his season is finished but that he will be back for next season. If he improves quickly and makes good progress then he could play before the end of this season, but I think we will wait for next year. It will be like having a new signing when he is back.
"I know he is happier now. He has been trying so hard to get back fit again but now he can look forward to next season knowing it will be a different situation for him.
"It has been a big blow to Daniel and to us that he has been out for so long, but hopefully the problem has now been sorted out and he can start working towards being fit for the start of next season.
"Martin Skrtel has come into the side and done very well along with Carra and Sami Hyypia, but it will obviously be good to have Daniel back because he is an important player for us."Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0...name_page.htmlJust believe and you never know what will happen.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

Excellent news - at least when you find the problem you've half a chance of fixing it, when you can't identify the problem then you've no chance
Massive player for us & can't wait to see him back in a Liverpool shirt
So much for the rumours about there being no injury to begin with & it's a smokescreen !!!At a football club there's a holy trinity- the players the manager and the supporters, Directors dont come into it, they are only there to sign the cheques " - Bill Shankly
If only

great news - i think (tho i am guessingOriginally posted by pablo1981 View PostGlad it was a success. Think someone should have noticed the loose bone earlier though.
It wont stop the conspiracy theories....
) the only way they would have found the bone is by having surgery, chances are it will prob be like a splinter that would be impossible to notice on scans/xrays etc - usually they will have surgery as a last resort - so they wouldn't want to risk putting him through surgery until it was completely neccessary - they tried everything else, couldn't find the problem so opened him up.
Hopefully now he can get himself fully fit and thats the end of it.i own everton fans on the internet....that's what i do

Alan Green said something interesting durnig the match commentory earlier.
He was chatting to Lawrsenson, saying that his must be the longest metatarsal injury ever (in his own sarcastic way). Lawrenson replied that maybe it hasn't healed properly, to which Green remarked somethimg like 'Oh I know exactly what is going on'.
That was it, but it sounded like Green thinks there is more going on than meets the eye.Oh I don't know.
