Worse than Brendan

Daniel Agger is expected to discover on Wednesday whether he faces an extended period on the sidelines with a calf injury suffered against Oldham Athletic.
Liverpool ended Sunday's FA Cup third-round win with 10 men after their vice-captain had to be helped off moments after the manager Brendan Rodgers made his third substitution. Agger appeared in severe discomfort as he left the pitch and underwent a scan on his calf on Tuesday amid concerns over the extent of the problem.
The defender has only recently reclaimed his first-team place from Mamadou Sakho, who has a hamstring problem, and a lengthy absence would be a severe blow to the 29-year-old in what has proved a difficult season.
 
[article]Late on Wednesday night, Jyllands-Posten confirmed Agger saying: “I expect to be out for four weeks.”

Agger continued: “I’ve had some problems with the calf, and it was made worse, but now we have to see how bad things are. I find it hard to say how bad things are, but it does not seem to be wildly good.”

After being out the first XI, Agger played three games in seven days over the Christmas period and there are suggestions the calf injury flared up due to “overloading.”

On playing three games in seven days, Agger told the Danish press: “Maybe it was a bit steep.”[/article]
 
As I wrote in another thread we should have sold him in the summer. We knew he would get injured again (and again). We won't be able to sell him now but how much will his value have dropped compared to last summer?
