Hamburg, Germany (My Sportsbook) - Hamburg will be without midfielder Nigel de Jong for the rest of the calendar year because of a knee injury. The Netherlands midfielder, who has only just returned to action after a knee ligament injury picked up while on international duty, suffered a recurrence while training this week and is unlikely to play again until after the Bundesliga's winter break. He is now set to miss four league games and the UEFA Cup group stages matches against Ajax, Slavia Prague and Aston Villa. "I think that I will only be able to play again after the winter break," he confirmed. (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
