[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 5048"] [b]Soccer-Larsson could be out for season after tearing knee[/b] In Barcelona story headlined "Larsson could be out for season after tearing knee", please read in third para ... during Saturday's ... instead of ... during Sunday's ... correcting day. Corrected repeat follows: BARCELONA, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson could miss the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the Spanish club said on Monday. The extent of the injury was revealed by keyhole surgery performed by club doctors on the Swedish striker's knee on Monday to repair cartilage damage sustained during Saturday's Primera Liga victory over Real Madrid. Barcelona's official website said Larsson had asked for any surgery on the torn ligament to be postponed, making it difficult to estimate how long the 33-year-old player would be out of action. "By the player's express wishes definite surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament has been postponed," the club quoted a medical statement as saying. Barcelona, who are at home to Larsson's former club Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday, said the injury was at least as serious as those suffered by Larsson's team mates Thiago Motta, Gabri and Edmilson. Brazil midfielder Edmilson suffered damage to the same ligament in his right knee early last month and was ruled out for at least six months. [/QUOTE]
