Portugal's Andrade likely to miss Euro 2008

2008-03-14来源:
LISBON, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Portuguese defender Jorge Andrade was likely to miss the European Championship finals due to a knee injury, according to Lusa News Agency on Thursday.

The 29-year-old defender had surgery on his left knee on Thursday and it's hard for him to come back to court before the Euro 2008, co-hosted by Switzerland and Austria from June 7-29.

The operation was performed by a Portuguese medical team headed by Antonio Martins and attended by the Serie A club's doctor.

The center-back joined Juventus from Deportivo Coruna this season.

Andrade also missed the 2006 World Cup in Germany after knee surgery.
