![]() Liverpool's Martin Kelly will be out of action for at least six months and will require surgery on a knee injury. The 22-year-old England international ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the closing stages of the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday. Martin Kelly facts and figures Born: 27 April 1990 in Whiston, Merseyside Height: 1.91m Clubs: Liverpool, Huddersfield Town (loan) International record: Made his debut for the England senior team in the friendly against Norway after he replaced Gary Cahill in the Euro 2012 squad following an injury to the Chelsea defender. Has since returned to the Under-21 set-up, with whom he has made eight appearances and scored three goals. A club statement said the academy product will be ruled out for a "significant period of time". Kelly told his Twitter followers: "It's not the worst injury I've had and I'll be fighting for my place next year." The full-back had a scan on Monday morning and vowed to come back "fitter and stronger". Liverpool said Kelly would require "ACL reconstruction", meaning the right-back, who was called up into the England squad for Euro 2012, will be unavailable for at least six months. The defender's career has been hampered by injury, with the Whiston-born defender making 54 appearances for the club since his debut against Lyon in the Champions League in 2009. But he had featured regularly this season for Brendan Rodgers, playing at full-back in four of their five Premier League games. There was better news on Daniel Agger as the central defender did not, as had been feared, suffer ligament damage during Sunday's defeat. The Denmark international was carried off on stretcher in the second half of the loss to United after colliding with team-mate Glen Johnson. "No ligament damage was sustained but further tests will be carried out before it can be established when he will be able to return to training," Liverpool said. |

Feel so sorry for the lad, he has had awful luck with injuries in the past. He has had a few broken legs so he will get over it and come back again. |
