April 7 : U.S. striker Patrick Agyemang has suffered an Achilles tendon injury that will keep him out of the World Cup, his English club Derby County said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was injured in the first half of Derby's 2-0 win over Stoke City in the Championship (second tier) on Monday and was taken off on a stretcher.
"The club will provide Patrick with the highest level of medical care and rehabilitation throughout his recovery," the club said in a statement.
"As a result of this injury, Patrick will unfortunately miss this summer's FIFA World Cup. At this stage it would be wrong to put a timeline on his recovery."
