Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt will miss the next four weeks after suffering a shoulder injury.

The 30-year-old Dutchman will miss a number of important games for the Reds after suffering the problem during training with Holland as the Oranje prepared for their Euro 2012 clash with Finland.

He returned to England on Monday for tests and is now set to be sidelined for approximately one month.

Club doctor 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 will miss Premier League clashes against Birmingham City, Manchester United and Sunderland as well as Europa League games versus Steaua Bucharest and FC Utrecht, and a Carling Cup tie with Northampton.

Liverpool's tireless worker will be particularly disappointed that he will miss the trip to Utrecht, as he played there for five years up until 2003.

This latest news will be a blow to Reds boss Roy Hodgson, who is looking to rebuild the Anfield outfit after a tough campaign last time out.
