Injury setback for Everton’s Jagielka
LIVERPOOL: Everton defender Phil Jagielka could be sidelined until January after undergoing a second knee operation, the Premier League side revealed yesterday.
Jagielka, 27, has been off the pitch since damaging knee ligaments in April but had been hoping to return to action before the end of November.
However he underwent surgery again on Wednesday on a small cartilage tear and Everton manager David Moyes said his return could now be pushed back.
“Jagielka had an operation on a tear in his meniscus, which is the cartilage in his knee,” said Moyes.
“We think (it has set him back) four to six weeks.
“He was down initially but he’s on the road to recovery now.” — AFP
