[b]Injured Park ruled out until August
Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung will be sidelined
until August at the earliest after undergoing knee surgery in the
United States.After failing to discover the exact nature of the
injury Park picked up in the last minute of the Premiership victory
over Blackburn last month, Park opted to see Dr Richard Steadman,
who has carried out a number of successful knee operations on
soccer stars in the past.
Steadman completed the surgery on Saturday morning, and Park will
now spend the next few months working on his rehabilitation before
being examined again summer.
"Ji-Sung Park has had a complicated cartilage operation that
required an expert in his field," confirmed a United
spokesman.
"He will be out for the remainder of the season and we will assess
the situation again in August."
Not only will Park miss the end of United's Treble bid, he will
also play no part in South Korean's Asia Cup campaign in
July.
