Sad news for "Man Utd" fans - after the tests, it turned out that the club captain Roy Keane will not be able to play for three weeks. The player can at least take comfort in the fact that earlier it was thought that he would need twice as much, that is six weeks of rehabilitation.
The combative Irishman suffered an injury during the weekend match against another city team "Man City", and, although he hoped that the team captain's injury would not be serious, after the tests it became clear that the tendon injury will not allow R. Keane to play for 20 days.
For this reason, Alan Smith will have a great opportunity to prove that he has managed to requalify from a goal-scoring striker to a defensive midfielder disrupting opponents' attacks.
Today (Wednesday) in the first matches of the UEFA Champions League main tournament, the Englishman faces a very difficult day - he will probably have to mark the Argentine national football team's midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme.
Due to the injury, R. Keane will likely miss several English Premier League matches and a couple of UEFA Champions League matches.
