Gabriel Heinze, "I am going to fight to recover just as hard as I do when I am on the pitch defending for Manchester United. It is a personal challenge that I have to overcome. I am a strong person and I have already been thinking about returning to the field before the six-month time frame and recovery that people have been talking about.
"I fell really strangely and that was the problem. Initially I didn't think there was anything that wrong but, little by little, the injury and the pain got worse and when I saw the face of the doctor I knew it was bad news. I am devastated by the injury because the World Cup is my dream and I am desperate to go there in good condition and fit."
