Newcastle´s Given sidelined for six weeks
Posted on March 18, 2008 Filed Under Injuries
Newcastle will be without first-choice goalkeeper Shay Given for most of what remains of the season following surgery to repair a groin injury.
Given, who has not played in almost a month, went under the knife in Germany for an operation carried out by the same hernia specialist who saved Michael Owen’s career.
In a statement, Newcastle said Given was expected to make a full recovery but would be out of action for six weeks.
The Ireland international has been been blighted by groin problems since a collision with then West Ham striker Marlon Harewood left him with a perforated bowel in September 2006.
