World Cup Injury Bug Spreading Faster than Bird Flu
It wasn’t the best of weekends for a few World Cup teams with some key players falling prey to injuries that could keep them out of action in Germany this summer. South Korea’s Lee Dong-gook tore his right cruciate ligament. The striker, who scored five goals in the qualifiers, is likely to miss the World Cup. Iran striker Vahid Hashemian has also suffered a knee injury that is likely to keep him on the sidelines for 4-8 weeks. It would be a big blow for Team Melli if he doesn’t regain his fitness. England back Luke Young damaged ligaments in his left ankle and is a questionable for a World Cup return. Meanwhile, Argentina defender Gabriel Heinze is set to make his return to the Manchester United lineup but he has doubts about his participation in the World Cup. I only hope I can avoid damaging my fingers when I LiveBlog during tomorrow’s friendly between the United States and Jamaica. Stay safe my friends. It’s hard out there for a pimp.
Update: Now Ronaldo is hurt too. Seek shelter.
