Utd's Anderson faces six months of knee physio
Manchester United midfielder Anderson is set to spend six months on the sidelines following an operation on his knee.
The Brazilian had to come off the pitch during Utd's clash with West Ham last month and it was later revealed that he had damaged his cruciate ligament.
However, the operation went well and following rehabilitation and knee physio it is thought the midfielder will be back on fighting form.
"The operation was a success and without any complications," said Portuguese specialist Jose Carlos Noronha, according to the Daily Mail.
"If all goes well in his rehabilitation then he could return to training without any restrictions in six months."
In another blow for Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson, defender Wes Brown is also out of action for between four and six weeks due to a foot injury he picked up against Wolves over the weekend.
Ferguson told Sky Sports News: "Unfortunately he's had a career that's been blighted with injury, and all long-term injuries unfortunately for the lad."
