FEILHABER: NO ADDITIONAL SURGERY
Chad Winger - Friday, January 9, 2009
USMNT and AGF Aarhus midfielder Benny Feilhaber has breathed a sigh of relief after a recent MRI revealed that no further operation will be necessary.

Feilhaber, who had only a single hour-long appearance for the Danes before the latest knee woe knocked him out of action is targeting an on-field return after the winter break.

"Everything is moving along nicely," the Gold Cup hero told YA. "The doctor decided I didnt need surgery after the latest MRI."

"He felt the meniscus looked good and there was very minimal damage to the cartilage, and therefore only a 45-60 day physcial therapy would be enough to get me back on the field."

The American who suffered through Derby County's miserable 2007/08 season after joining from Hamburg, is looking forward to rejoining Aarhus and fellow national teamer Jeremiah White before the league resumes in the spring.

"I've been rehabbing now for about four weeks, so in another month I should be close to training," Feilhaber said. "Right now I am set to leave Brazil and go back to Denmark late January or early February."
