Daniel Agger injured in bizarre dumbbell accident
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed how a freak accident in the gym has left Daniel Agger in a race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League game against Southampton.
The 28-year-old Danish defender was ruled out of last night’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium after a scrape with a dumbbell over the weekend.
Agger, who played in all three of Liverpool’s opening league fixtures, suffered a side injury in trying to prevent a heavy dumbbell from falling on his foot. His quick-wittedness prevented his foot from being crushed but left him nursing a sharp pain in his side.
Rodgers, who in Agger’s absence partnered Martin Skrtel with £18million French international centre back Mamadou Sakho, said; “It’s too early to say whether or not he will be fit for the weekend.
“He just had a real freak incident in the gym just before he came out for training. He over-stretched when he was trying to prevent a dumb bell from falling on his foot.
“He has just yanked his side, so we are waiting to see if that settles down over the next couple of days. But if it doesn't we have got ample replacements now and that's why we brought in extra players to cover us for any injuries. “
Twenty-three-year-old Sakho had a mixed debut against the Swans, showing signs of genuine class at times, but making one or two genuine errors to boot.
Rodgers said; “I was pleased because the lad hasn’t played too much football of late.”
Daniel Sturridge is also likely to undergo treatment between now and the weekend after confirming that his thigh was far from 100 per cent, despite a fourth successive goal-scoring performance this season.
