Gordon to miss relegation battle
May 7, 2009 by James Doyle · Comments
Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon will miss the rest of the season to have an operation on a knee injury.
The Scotland international has already missed six months of the season with an ankle injury and will be unable to help Sunderland try to avoid relegation in the last two games of the season.
Gordon said: “I have hardly missed a game in my career. To have lengthy injuries back to back is disappointing.”
“It’s a possibility that it is the knee cartilage, but it’s been the worst season of my career for injuries. I have never had anything like this at any stage.”
Gordon signed for the Black Cats in 2007 from Hearts for £9m which is a British transfer record for a Goalkeeper.
Even without injuries Gordon has struggled to get games and the the number one jersey has belonged to Marton Fullop for a number of games this season.
The operation will tell Gordon the full extent of the injury and hopes to be fit for the next round of World Cup qualifiers.
