Gordon requires knee surgery
Craig Gordon will sit out Sunderland's final three games of the season as he is due to go under the knife.[LNB] The Scotland international has been struggling with a knee complaint for some time and has undergone several scans on the problem in the last fortnight.[LNB]It has now been decided that surgery is the best course of action, with the keeper keen to rid himself of the niggling knock.[LNB]Black Cats medics are still uncertain as to the full extent and the cause of the problem, but Gordon accepts an operation is the only feasible option open to him.[LNB]"I'm going to have it done on Saturday and hopefully that can sort out the problem, as it's been a frustrating time for me," he told the club's official website.[LNB]"There's only three weeks of the season left so obviously that's the end of my campaign.[LNB]"There'll be a period of rest and recovery and then I'll start my rehab so I'm ready for pre-season training."[LNB]
