The perpetually crocked Wes Brown has been injured again – this time on international duty with England. The defender, who has spent almost as much time in the treatment room as the pitch during his decade-long United career, picked up a minor knock in manager Fabio Capello’s first training session with the squad on Tuesday. But the injury is serious enough that Brown will not play against Slovenia on Saturday unless he makes it through a training session beforehand.
Brown played for United at centre-half in the weekend’s 2-1 victory over Arsenal and is crucial to Sir Alex Ferguson’s short-term plans with Johnny Evans and Rio Ferdinand both out. While Ferdinand hopes to return for the September 12 match against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, Evans is likely to be sent for an operation on his left ankle, keeping him out until the end of October.
Wes Brown is ALWAYS going to get knocks, He is a full blooded, aggressive defender, and gets stuck in where it hurts. He HAS NEVER PULLED OUT OF A TACKLE, so lay off him eh! He only has a minor knock, and will be available for England Saturday, according to the England backroom staff. Wes Brown, an immense servant for Man Utd.
For all we know, this could be one of those “injuries” that just coincidentally happen to players for big clubs when international matches come around.
Weve got wesley brown!
Well frankly he has missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years.
Wish we had him more often
