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

"I think he could be out for several weeks," van Marwijk told UEFA's official site 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 visit to Anfield by Manchester United.

Holland, the beaten World Cup finalists who could also be without Stuttgart defender Khalid Boulahrouz for the fixture in Rotterdam, began their campaign to qualify for Euro 2012 in stirring fashion with a 5-0 drubbing of San Marino last Friday.
