Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has withdrawn from Denmark's squad to face Russia tonight after fracturing a rib in Sunday's Carling Cup final against Cardiff.

The centre-half could be sidelined for four weeks as Kenny Dalglish's side attempt to close the gap on Champions League qualification.

Meanwhile, the derby against Everton at Anfield has been rescheduled for Tuesday 13 March.
