He was just getting into his groove and beginning to look like a consistant match winner with his assists. It's hard to say we'll miss him because he's only had a handful of games, but he did look like he was set to add something to the team, so it's a real shame.
Shouldn't be too much of a problem in terms of cover, we've got Riise, Arbeloa and Zenden who can do a job, perhaps Insua will get a chance, and if the need was so great, even Agger or Carra could do a job at left back.
It's a shame, but we've got more than adequate replacements.
Just hope we can win a medal for the lad - I recall it was he who put the ball in for Crouchie's bicycle kick against Galatasaray.
