Benayoun injury blow confirmed

Chelsea have confirmed midfielder Yossi Benayoun will be out of action for around six months.

Yossi Benayoun

Benayoun suffered a torn calf muscle during the Carling Cup defeat to Newcastle last month. He subsequently joined up with the Israel national side but suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during training, and further tests have revealed the extent of the problem.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Yossi Benayoun will undergo surgery on his Achilles on Monday. The Israeli international returned to the club from international duty last week, and will now be out of action for approximately six months."

Benayoun has yet to start a Premier League game for Chelsea after joining the club from Liverpool in the summer.

Carragher says players have to deliver

Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher says the players have no excuses now that the club's ownership looks set to be settled.

Jamie Carragher

Current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett's attempts to block the sale were rejected by a High Court judge today, paving the way for New England Sports Ventures' acquisition of the club.

Roy Hodgson's arrival in the summer to replace Rafael Benitez has so far failed to improve the club's fortunes on the field - they are currently in the Premier League's bottom three - and defender Carragher admits it is time for the players to do their bit.

He told talkSPORT: "We have changed the manager, we have changed the board and if things don't change now then the players will go, too. Everything else has changed - it is just the players who have stayed the same."

With the Merseyside derby against Everton to focus on this weekend, he added: "I hope we can look forward now. I don't think the protests have affected things too much, because the protests and marches were usually before or after games.

"The atmosphere has not been great at Anfield recently because the performances have not been that great, but a lot of supporters will be delighted with the outcome today. I am sure that will give us a feel-good factor and we hope that will help us."

Wenger pleased with Ramsey progress

Arsene Wenger believes Aaron Ramsey has made "a huge step forward" in his recovery from his double leg fracture.

Aaron Ramsey

Ramsey has been out of action since February but he is closing in on a comeback and could make a return to action by the end of next month.

"He is back running and he is back kicking the ball," Wenger told the club's official website. "You would be amazed if you saw him in training - he has suddenly in the last month made a huge step forward. If I consider now when I look at him, you see his smile again.

"He has changed since six months ago because he has the feeling that the worst is behind him and everyday he is getting closer to what he wants to be, and that means being a football player.

"He comes from so far that certainly he had deeper doubts in his mind. Now he knows that again he will be a football player he wants to hurry up and make it happen as quickly as possible, but just for him to have the ball again and to be outside training is a fantastic sensation."

Meanwhile, Jack Wilshere has said he feels he is developing well at the club thanks to the quality of his team-mates.

"Every day you learn when you watch someone like Cesc Fabregas, though it's not just him," he said. "There are players like Samir Nasri and Denilson and you can learn anything from them. They are top class players and the best thing to do is train with them every day."

Hargreaves 'to play a part' against West Brom

Owen Hargreaves could be set to return for Manchester United against West Brom at the weekend, after his surgeon Dr Richard Steadman claimed he would 'play a part' in the game.


Hargreaves has not started for United for over two years after he was struck down by an acute form of tendinitis in his knees, which he first experienced during his time at Bayern Munich.

Two operations and an extensive period of rehabilitation followed, but he suffered a relapse after completing 45 minutes in a reserve game at the end of the 2009-10 season and did not make his long-awaited comeback.
Having been sent to Colorado to undergo treatment with Dr Richard Steadman - who has built his reputation rescuing the careers of players like Ruud van Nistelrooy, who have had ruptured cruciate ligaments - Hargreaves' first-team return is now looming fast.

''Owen should play some part on Saturday,'' Steadman told BBC Sport. ''Our physical therapist, Luke O'Brien, has been working very closely with United's coaches on his rehab.

''It's been a long road back and there have been some setbacks along the way. But I've got a lot of admiration for the way Owen has responded - he's worked very hard and has never given up. Things are looking good for him now.''

Hargreaves has been omitted from United's 25-man Champions League squad and will be targeting the club's Carling Cup tie with Wolves on October 26 to make a full return to the side.

Anderson eyes Porto return

Manchester United midfielder Anderson has hinted he wants to leave Old Trafford and return to FC Porto.

Anderson

Anderson, who has made just one Premier League appearance this season, reportedly fell out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in pre-season and has slipped down the pecking order at United.

The Brazil international also suffered from alleged disciplinary issues last season before a cruciate ligament injury in February ended his campaign.

With his future at United far from certain, the 22-year-old is contemplating heading back to the Portuguese Liga in order to revive his career.

Anderson said: "I am good in Manchester but I'd like to return to Portugal and my preference would be Porto."

The former Gremio youngster signed for United from Porto for a fee of £17.5 million in May 2007 but has struggled to make an impact at United.
