Rafael Benitez will be furious after Dirk Kuyt came off injured at half-time in yesterday's friendly for Holland against Australia.
Liverpool were already less than happy that Kuyt and Ryan Babel had to play the match in Sydney in what was a commercially-driven deal done by the Holland FA.
Kuyt had missed training all week with an ankle injury yet despite that, Holland coach Bert van Marwijk started the game with the striker, who will now return to training having exacerbated his injury.
Worse, the 24-hour return flight is likely to increase the swelling on the ankle.
