Van der Gun sidelined for some three months

	Cedric van der Gun

13 September: Most of the players on Ajax' extensive list of injuries are almost ready to return in the Ajax-1 selection, but unfortunately one new player has dropped out for a while: striker Cedric van der Gun, suffering from a persistent knee injury, underwent surgery on Wednesday in Amsterdam's AMC Hospital and will need some three months to recover.

Van der Gun (22) sustained his injury during the last training session before Ajax' Champions League away game at Celtic FC. Apparently, th cartilage of his left knee is damaged. The surgery was necessary to remove loose pieces of cartilage from the joint.

Van der Gun joins Daniël Cruz and Petri Pasanen in Ajax' "sick-bay". They are also unlikely to return before the winter break. The good news, however, is that Tim de Cler, Tomás Galásek, Andy van der Meyde, Pius Ikedia, Kiran Bechan and John O'Brien are almost ready to return to Co Adriaanse's squad. (MP)
