[新聞] U.S. goalie might have suffered broken ribs

IRENE, South Africa - U.S. coach Bob Bradley isn't sure whether
goalkeeper Tim Howard broke ribs during a collision with Emile Heskey
in the Americans' World Cup opener against England.
"He'll be evaluated later today and then a decision will be made as
to whether he'll need further tests," Bradley said Sunday. "Obviously
he was sore — did a great job of taking a tough hit, and staying in
it and playing really well. But we'll assess him later today and figure
out then what we need to do from there."
Howard was injured when Heskey's foot slid into him in the 29th
minute Saturday night. Howard was down for a while, saying he felt
"in agony." When the game resumed, he grimaced several times.
Howard played the second half after having an injection of a
painkiller and made six saves as the United States rallied for a 1-1
tie.
"Any time you're in a big game like that and you get injured,
there's no chance anybody is taking you off that field. And Tim is
no different than the rest of us," defender Steve Cherundolo said.
"Having a good goalkeeper in a tournament like this is essential,
so we're very happy Tim is on our team, and I'm certain he'll continue
with his good performances."
Bradley couldn't say if Howard's participation in Friday's game against
Slovenia was in doubt. Slovenia played Algeria later Sunday in Group C.
