Goalkeeper Matt Murray faces Knee Surgery

Goalkeeper Matt Murray faces a spell on the sidelines as he requires surgery on a knee problem.

 

The 26-year-old will go under the knife later this week, after suffering pain during training in preparation for the new season.

 

Manager Mick McCarthy told the club's official website: "We are hoping the arthroscopy shows that he has just nicked his cartilage.

 

"But until he has the surgery - probably on Thursday - and we've got the results, we won't know how long he is going to be out of action.

 

"Beyond saying that it will be more than three weeks, we just don't know.

 

"Matt had hoped it was just going to be a repeat of last season when he injured himself in the Aston Villa friendly, but recovered immediately and went on to play almost all of the season. But that's not the case.

 

"Wayne Hennessey has been fantastic, but he's the only fit keeper we have now, so we got to look for somebody else."

Joey Porter Seek 2nd opinion on Knee Surgery

Knee Surgery Recovery New Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter sought a second opinion Monday before deciding whether to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery that could sideline him for two weeks or more. Porter has been sidelined since Friday because of the injury, which began bothering him during the offseason. He was examined over the weekend and sought a second opinion from Birmingham, Alabama-based specialist Doctor James Andrews. The Dolphins' first exhibition game is Saturday against Jacksonville. Porter would miss most or all of the preseason if he requires arthroscopic surgery. Another injury concern surfaced when tackle Anthony Alabi limped off the field Monday morning after hurting hisleft knee. He was to be evaluated.

Knee Surgery Recovery Governor Schwarzenegger is now recovering from what his surgeon is calling a successful operation to repair his right femur this morning. Marianne Russ reports. Schwarzenegger will remain in the Los Angeles-area hospital for three days – which his physician says is standard for the procedure. During the hour-and-a-half-long surgery, doctors used cables and screws to wire together the two major fragments of the Governor’s femur. Schwarzenegger broke the thigh bone Saturday while skiing in Sun Valley, Idaho. While he was under anesthesia, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustmante temporarily took over the gubernatorial duties. Schwarzenegger was cleared to resume the job at 10:45 Tuesday morning. In a statement, the Governor’s surgeon, Dr. Kevin Ehrhart said he expects Schwarzenegger to fully recover – that should take about eight weeks. The Governor is not in a cast and will use crutches. His inauguration is still planned for January 5th
