U.S. national team defender Oguchi Onyewu will be sidelined for around three to four months after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his left knee during the U.S. team's 2-2 tie vs. Costa Rica on Wednesday night in Washington D.C.
Onyewu was challenging for a corner kick in the 83rd minute when his left knee gave after he tried to plant it. He immediately went to the ground and both he and Costa Rican players began waving for medical attention.
The time table for recovery from a torn patellar tendon ranges from three to four months, which would have Onyewu potentially returning to action in January or February.
What do you think of this development? Hoping Jay DeMerit recovers quickly from his eye injury? Think Chad Marshall or Jimmy Conrad can pick up the slack in the meantime?
