Tottenham star Aaron Lennon has undergone surgery to repair
the knee injury that forced his withdrawal from Steve McClaren's
England squad.
The silky winger picked up a small tear in his left knee during
England's B international victory over Albania at Turf Moor.
Lennon was originally included in the senior squad despite the
concern over his fitness, but quickly withdrew ahead of the
friendly against Brazil on Friday and the Euro 2008 qualifier
against Estonia five days later.
Now his club have confirmed that Lennon has gone under the knife in
a bid to correct the problem.
Spurs have not released any details as to how long Lennon will be
sidelined for.
His White Hart Lane colleague Michael Dawson was also forced to
withdraw from McClaren's plans due to a groin problem.
