Jagielka to begin rehab straight away after successful knee operation

30 April 2009 15:09
Phil Jagielka's knee operation has been declared a success as the Evertondefender comes to terms with missing the FA Cup final. The 26-year-old underwent surgery in London on Wednesday to repair the rupturedanterior cruciate ligament he suffered in the defeat by Manchester City last weekend, when he collapsed with no opponent near him. The injury has ended the England international's season and therefore ruled him out of the Cup final showdown with Chelsea at Wembley on May 30. Jagielka admitted that he 'cried and cried and cried' when he realised that the greatest moment of his club career had been snatched from him.
