It seems a bit strange that Everton players in particular seem to get quite a few long term knee injuries between them, I wonder if this is merely coincidence.
Hope he recovers well though, looks a good prospect.
Get well soon Gossy, i know how it feels to suffer knee injuries as i had mine stamped on one year thats not let me play football since. But atleast he can get the required surgery and hope he has a fast recovery.
