It's rather tragic and made all the more disappointing when he is the kind of model professional that English football needs and so often doesn't get. He is an intelligent footballer who played abroad and added different aspects to his game. Still hope for the recovery but the future looks bleak.

AFAIK it's a hamstring not his knee. Which is no unusual as he's been out so long and concentrated his fitness on his knees not his other muscles.
This is the problem Ledley King has. His rehab takes so much attention to his knee that he doesn't get enough regular exercise for his other muscles. Si its kind of like me suddenly going out and running miles at full blast.
