Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is injured and will miss Holland’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Finland today, Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk reported.

“I think he could be out for several weeks,” van Marwijk said after the player suffered a shoulder problem in training Monday.

The injury is also bad news for Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson as he prepares his team for Sunday’s Premier League match at Birmingham.

Holland could also be without Stuttgart defender Khalid Boulah­rouz for the fixture in Rotterdam due to a knee injury.
