Orlando Engelaar will undergo Achilles tendon surgery

Orlando Engelaar will undergo surgery to the Achilles tendon on his left leg in Rotterdam on Wednesday. The Holland international will be sidelined for several weeks and has now been ruled out of contention for the first team until the New Year. Engelaar has not joined his team mates for the trip to Cluj.

‘Sidelined for several weeks’
Engelaar has been suffering for some weeks a sore Achilles tendon on his left leg and will undergo surgery in Rotterdam to repair the problem. He will be sidelined for several weeks. Engelaar would have missed next Sunday’s league game away against Roda JC through suspension and is not available for the Cup tie at sc Heerenveen next week Wednesday, either.
