Kewell operation goes well
SYDNEY, Sept 10 (AFP) - Leeds United's Australian international Harry Kewell says his operation for an Achilles tendon injury went well and he hopes to be back in premier league action by Christmas. "Fortunately, according to the surgeon, the operation went very well," he said in a column for Sydney's Sunday Telegraph. "But I guess only time will tell as I start my rehabilitation program of exercises and physio work." Last season's Young Player of the Year suffered the injury towards the end of last season and will miss the Sydney Olympics. "It was a last resort," he said of the operation on Friday. "But I wasn't left with much of a choice. My goal now is to be back on the pitch before Christmas. "I'm told that is realistic and I'll be giving it my best shot." He said frustration was the worst part of being out of action. "The frustration is what gets you most about being out of action, and then there's the boredom," he said. "You become used to a routine of training and playing and mixing with the lads then suddenly you are out of the loop and feel a bit like an outsider at times.
