Unhappy hat-trick for Kewell

Last updated : 14 May 2006 By Al Campbell
Kewell had to be withdrawn from both the Carling Cup and European Cup finals last season and yesterday he completed a sad hat-trick when a torn groin muscle forced him off minutes into the second half of the FA Cup final.

"We liased closely with the Australian national team medical staff and their physio actually accompanied our club doctor to the scan this morning," said Liverpool press officer Ian Cotton.
 
"That scan has shown Harry has torn one of his groin muscles. It has been agreed that Harry will receive treatment at Melwood for the next 10 days before joining up wth his international teammates in Holland. We expect him to be playing again within the next two to three weeks."
