Elaine out for 6 months with knee injury

Umeå's Brazilian national team player Elaine will probably miss the Olympics in August. The knee injury she suffered in the match against LDB FC Malmö last weekend was examined today and team physician Anders Eriksson revealed that the anterior cruciate ligament was torn. There are also additional damage to other ligaments in the knee.
"Injuries like this demands at least 6 months rehabilitation", said Eriksson, who added that Elaine will undergo surgery as soon as the swelling has gone down.
