Daniel Agger to Undergo Back-Strengthening Treatment, Miss Last Two Games of 2012-13 Season

Liverpool has confirmed Daniel Agger will miss the remaining two games of the 2012-13 season as he undergoes proactive treatment to strengthen the condition of his back.

The club’s medical team and associated specialists have decided to undertake a series of elective injections to enhance the stability of the defender’s back.

Agger has enjoyed his best season since joining the Reds in terms of appearances having made 39 in all competitions — the highest he has totaled in any campaign since joining the club in January 2006.

Undergoing the treatment means he will miss the remaining games against Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.

Liverpool believe this pro-active action and planned rehabilitation program will have long-term benefits for the 28-year-old’s career for both club and country.
