CLINT DEMPSEY INJURYNoooooooooooooooooooo! In Fulham's Sunday loss at Blackburn Clint Dempsey sustained a knee injury!Manager Roy Hodgson: "It looks he has suffered cruciate knee ligament damage which if he has keeps him out of action for a while. We won't know for certain until the scan is completed on Monday but the doctors are pretty good these days and often their initial prognosis proves to be the correct one." He later went on to say: "The extent of Clint Dempsey's knee injury will be known following a scan [Monday]."The seriousness of the injury beyond that is unknown. It could be bad, or it could be minor. But we have heard that he suffered some sort of cruciate ligament damage.The team's official website will have the latest as soon as anyone else.The BBC report is not sounding good.Some words from USA coach Bob Bradley on the injury: "Obviously we're waiting on reports of the scan. We saw the play and it looks like such a harmless play. Now we just need to wait and see and keep our fingers crossed.
