Anderson out for season
Midfielder suffers serious knee injury in win over West Ham
Midfielder suffers serious knee injury in win over West Ham
Anderson has been ruled out for the rest of the season after the Manchester United midfielder ruptured his cruciate ligament against West Ham United.
Quote:The Brazilian was making his first appearance in over a month after being named in the starting line-up for Tuesday's 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
However, Anderson was replaced by Park Ji-sung inside the opening 20 minutes of the Premier League fixture after hurting his knee.
Scans have shown the 21-year-old has suffered severe damage to his cruciate ligament and he will play no further part in United's campaign.
The injury setback could prompt further speculation over whether Anderson has played his last game for United following an indifferent season.
Anderson has struggled to consistently live up to his billing since arriving from Porto in 2007 and has scored just once in 97 appearances for the club.
He was linked with a move to Lyon during the January transfer window and recently admitted he was considering his future with the Premier League champions.
The midfielder feared a lack of football would hinder his prospects of making Brazil's World Cup squad, but injury has now denied Anderson the chance to represent his country in South Africa.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the severity of the injury and hopes Anderson will be fit in time for the start of next season.
Bad blow
"The real bad news is that Anderson has a cruciate knee injury," said Ferguson. "He will be out for the rest of the season. It is a bad blow.
"He was looking forward to the match on Tuesday and he was showing great energy to do well.
"It is a bit of a blow to us, particularly with the AC Milan game coming up because Michael Carrick is suspended.
"It is strange, when you see cruciate injuries it is usually something simple. He stretched out for the ball and his knee just popped.
"We have assessed the situation and know he needs the operation.
"That will be done in two weeks' time in Portugal once the swelling has gone down. Sometimes we have sent them to Dr Steadman in Colorado. In this instance he is comfortable with the surgeon he has dealt with in Portugal in the past.
"He will be out for six months and hopefully that should have him about right for the new season."

THE SUN GOES WITH
ANDERSON will miss this summer's World Cup after he was ruled out for SIX MONTHS with a horror injury.
The Manchester United midfielder suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in the win over West Ham on Tuesday.
It was his first appearance for over a month and although he tried to continue, the Brazilian was forced off within minutes.
United boss Alex Ferguson said: "The real bad news is that Anderson has a cruciate knee injury.
"He will be out for the rest of the season. It is a bad blow."
Asked if Anderson would be fit for the start of next season, Ferguson added: "That's six months away.
"We need to assess the situation in two weeks and then we will see but it's a long way off."
The injury is another setback for Anderson, who has struggled to hold down a regular place since joining United from Porto in 2007.
He has made just 10 Premier League starts this season, scoring once.

Wow! As I missed the game and couldn't find an English paper, I didn't know this! Poor Ando. He looked to have decided he was going to fight for his place and I think he could have been a great asset to us. Time will tell what SAF does with him when he's fixed.
Get well soon Ando!
