Convey out for the rest of the season.

Reading have put Bobby Convey on a plane back to the USA for further surgery on his gimpy knee. Convey injured his knee last summer in Germany while on USMNT duty during the 2006 World Cup. A procedure similar to the one done on his knee in December will be done on his knee again.

This is really starting to make me wonder why he was called in for the Mexico match in February. You also have to think that this rules him out of any US team duty, which gives Beasley a brand new chance to stake claim to the left flank position. You never know Bradley might move Bornstein up to the left wing and drop Pierce or Bocanegra to the left back position.

I feel bad for Bobby; this ends his first season in the EPL and unless this heals properly, could effectively kill his career. Get well young Bobby.
