Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole could miss next Sunday's match against his former club Chelsea due to a hamstring injury.The 28-year-old, who joined the club on a free transfer from Stamford Bridge in the summer, picked up the injury in Sunday’s 1-0 victory against Bolton Wanderers.Although the injury is not considered serious, Cole’s ability to train during the week is likely to be affected. Roy Hodgson is awaiting the results of a scan before deciding on Cole’s availability. "He has a slight hamstring injury and we don't know the extent of it until after he has a scan," Hodgson told reporters.Cole’s arrival at the club was celebrated by the fans, however, the midfielder's season has failed to ignite during his short spell at Anfield.Liverpool could be boosted for the game by the return of Dirk Kuyt. The Dutchman's fitness has improved quicker than first Hodgson thought, after he suffered the injury whilst on international duty earlier this month."I think he [Kuyt] will be available to be in the squad against Chelsea, but whether he is fit enough to play remains to be seen,” he added."I think he will return to training towards the latter part of the week and then it is a question of seeing how well he can cope." Glen Johnson is also expected to return in time to face his former club.Source: Goal.com
