The new London club purchase Steed Malbranque will undergo hernia surgery and therefore will not be able to play for several months.
Last week, the coach of the team from the capital of England, Martin Jol, acquired the Frenchman for 2 million pounds from the same city's "Fulham" eleven and confirmed that the 26-year-old defender would undergo surgery.
"It was his decision and he will be out of the lineup for seven, maybe even eight weeks," - said M. Jol.
In Saturday's match against "Man Utd," the club will also be without Bulgarian national team striker Dimitar Berbatov, who suffered a groin injury during the national team's match against Romania.
