In case you didn't see it, here's United's story on Eddie Pope's left-knee surgery: http://www.dcunited.com/index.cfm?section=main&cont_id=140744 The surgury "removed scar tissue that had formed on Pope’s patellar tendon" and the procedure has an expected recovery period of about six weeks.
Goodness. Pope, Marco.... Lot of surgery going on over there. At least it all sounds minor. Heal well, guys, come back full strength next season.
