June 12 marks the start of the 2014 Word Cup and day by day, it approaches. The first match will be Brazil against Croatia. Each day leading up to this amazing tournament brings changes and some of them are not good. Unfortunately Jay Rodriguez, 24, hurt his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee halfway through the first half in the Saints’ game against Manchester City. Rodriguez will be out of commission for six months to heal his knee, which means, regrettably, he will no longer get the change to play with the Southampton team in the 2014 World Cup.
Rodriguez scored 15 goals for Southampton this season, placing them in 8th place in the Premier League. Striker Rickie Lambert, left back Luke Shaw, and midfielder Adam Lallana all have a chance to make it to Brazil. Unfortunately Rodriguez will be hanging with Theo Walcott on the national team’s injured list.
Les Reed, the Southampton director comments on Jay’s disappointment about not getting the chance to play “but is determined to get back playing for the Saints as soon as possible… Jay has asked us to pass on his gratitude to everybody who has shown him their concern and sympathy during the 48 hours since his injury.” What a good sport!
