Parlour set for lenghty lay-off
Middlesborough midfielder Ray Parlour is set to miss the next two months of Boro's campaign after undergoing an operation to repair damaged knee cartilage. The former Arsenal and England player has not played since an appearance as substitute in the 2-0 defeat by Sunderland on September 25. Boro do not expect the 32-year-old to return until early December, however that is their best prognosis and Parlour's comeback could be put back until closer to Christmas. Parlour has already missed matches against Xanthi and Aston Villa, and he will also be a spectator for the UEFA Cup group games against Grasshoppers, Dnipro and AZ Alkmaar.
This sure is bad news for Boro because ever since Parlour has joined the club he has done well and they will miss him. Parlour is 32 years old and he certainly dosen't have long left until he will hang up his boots and give up the game, so this is a big blow for himself, But I suppose he is right to take the operation sooner rather than later.
