We all saw the injury during the game tonight, and now here comes the fallout: Onyewu has a torn left patellar tendon that’ll require surgery and 3-4 months on the sidelines. On the flip side, it’s not like AC Milan was using him much, right? He’ll have time to rest, and fingers crossed his recovery is great enough to have him ready for that little tournament in South Africa next summer.

Considering how we went down and how this week has been in general, I’ll take that injury over many others.
