    Soccer Star Adu Injured On Ellen DeGeneres Show
    Freddy Adu Hurts Ankle At Taping; Appearance In MLS Final In Doubt

    Friday, November 12, 2004; Page DC04

    Teenage soccer star Freddy Adu injured himself while attempting a stunt in the taping of the Ellen Degeneres Show yesterday, shocking the audience and temporarily halting production.

    The injury to Adu, a sprain of his left ankle, likely will keep him sidelined for the MLS Cup Final on Sunday in Carson, CA.

    The accident occurred around 3 p.m., about 30 minutes into the taping of the show. Adu sprained his ankle while attempting to pirouette while standing on top of a soccer ball and simultaneously removing his shirt with another soccer ball balanced on his head. Adu sustained the injury as he rolled his ankle when his foot slipped off the ball.

    Adu, just three days away from playing in the championship soccer game in Carson, CA for his team, DC United, expressed grief and dismay about his injury, audience members said. Although not a serious injury, only a miraculous recovery will allow him to play in the MLS final.

    Olive Hopkins, who attended the performance, said, "We just saw him fall, and we could tell it was not part of the performance.

    I thought it was an odd trick he was trying," she added. "It just seemed too difficult. I don't think it helped that Ellen was teasing him to try something really hard for her show."

    The Ellen DeGeneres show is a nationally televised celebrity talk show. The incident involving Freddy Adu has been edited out of the show to be aired today at 11 a.m. EST in most markets.






















    Yes, it's fake. I'll see you all in California. Take it this way, this is my way of wishing Freddy good luck on Sunday.

    Absolutely outstanding! You really had me going there. And the "El Dario" babble-fish edition was superb as well. Kudos to you both--you sick puppies.
