UEFA Cup: Cacau causes Stuttgart concern

/noticias.info/ UEFA Cup contenders VfB Stuttgart will be without Cacau for up to six weeks after the striker suffered a knee injury on Friday.

Surgery required
The knee problem forced the 24-year-old Brazilian out of training yesterday and further scans revealed that surgery was required. "It is another blow for us but I hope that he will be able to return to training in about three weeks," said coach Giovanni Trapattoni.

Double blow
Cacau is the second Stuttgart forward to be sidelined after Marco Streller suffered knee ligament damage in the club's 4-3 German Cup win at TSG Hoffenheim last week, which has ruled him out up to eight weeks. Trapattoni has already acted to fill the gap left by the Swiss international's absence with the signing of Danijel Ljuboja on a one-year loan deal from Paris St. Germain. notas_de_prensa_archivo
