Kuyt travelled to Liverpool to cover the All-Star charity game that was hosted by the club.

The former Netherlands international was unable to take part in the game due to picking up an injury in the 1-0 win over Beşiktaş in the Istanbul derby last week.

Kuyt and Fenerbahçe teammate Raul Meireles were forced to pull out of the Liverpool FC All-Star charity match on Sunday.

The 34-year-old scored 71 goals in 285 matches for Liverpool and 24 goals in 104 international appearances.

The Netherlands international played in the the 2006-07 Champions League final, was runner up in the 2008-09 Premier League title race and won the 2011-12 League Cup with the Reds.
