South Korean out for Six Weeks

Kim Do-Heon, West Brom’s able midfielder and stalwart for the South Korean national team to the 2010 World Cup is out for at least six weeks. He sustained the injury in his club side’s win over Middlesbrough. Even without him, his club side still managed to win the match.

The injury was sustained in the very first minute of the match at Riverside Stadium. He was accelerating to meet fellow midfielder Robert Koren’s pass but suddenly crumpled onto the pitch. He had tried to get up to get to his sideline but he could not put any weight on the leg itself. He needed to be carried off to be able to restart play.

Initial examination indicated that it may be medial ligament tear but more tests are needed to determine the full extent of the damage. If he needs to go into surgery to repair the tear, then he will need six weeks to recover. In the meantime, West Brom needs to shore up its midfield and his duties to his national side would be put on hold after recuperation and rehabilitation.

Premier League Preview

Its a busy week in the English Premier League as all 20 teams play after a weekend of FA Cup action.

Leaders Manchester United are facing an injury crisis, with at least 7 first choice players out, but they will still fancy getting all 3 points away to bottom club West Bromwich Albion. United beat WBA 4-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season, and another victory will kepp them top of the table.

Level on points with United are Liverpool, and they travel to play in form Wigan Athletic. A win is necessary for the Reds after 3 consecutive draws have left them a little short of confidence. 3 points will help them regain some self-belief as the title race heats up.

Chelsea may have fallen off the pace in recent weeks, but they are still in with a good chance of winning the title this season. They host Middlesbrough, looking for a win to put pressure on the front two.

In other games, Arsenal play Everton, Aston Villa face Portsmouth, Spurs are up against Stoke,  Manchester City play Newcastle, Hull City play West Ham and Bolton will lock horns with Blackburn Rovers.
