The Dutch midfielder playmaker – who had a stunning Euro 2008 campaign – is almost certain to miss the rest of the year after suffering a severe knee injury against Arsenal during the 1-0 loss in the Emirates Cup. The player was visibly in distress as he was stretchered out of the pitch while his coach, Bernd Schuster and the rest of his teammates were fearing the worse possible outcome. And the worse, it appears could come true when Madrid’s club doctor Juan Carlos Hern?ndez confirmed that Sneijder has tore the interior lateral ligament in his left knee and possibly the cruciate ligament. “If it was only the interior lateral ligament, he could avoid the operating room and he would only need three months to recover,” Hern?ndez explained. “But if he also tore the cruciate, then we will need to operate and the recovery period is expected to be six months,” the doctor continued. The 24 year old will undergo further examinations on Monday at the Moraleja Clinic on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury.</div> http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=803707 Ouch, bit hit for Real. Sneijder is a great player, one of my favorites in La Liga. Hopefully he'll return at 100%.
He was one of our top performers last year... anyway hopefully VDV can step right in and play at a high level.
