Dirk Kuyt's injury is not as bad as first thought. An ankle assessment revealed today that the Liverpool striker pulled his ankle ligaments. At first it was excpected that his ankle ligaments were torn.

This news comes as a massive boost for Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, who slammed the Dutch football association today for not releasing Kuyt from international duty.

It's still unknown for how long Kuyt will be out.
