More injury woe for Matteo

Last updated : 10 February 2003 By FootyMAD
Matteo underwent scans on the injury on Monday and they revealed a hamstring tear, meaning at leat six weeks out for the United captain.

The Scotland international only returned to action five weeks ago after three months out with a knee injury and just last week announced he was to retire from international football.

Matteo's latest injury setback came towards the end of the 1-0 home win over West Ham at Elland Road on Saturday.

"I was determined to play because the knee felt better than it has done for a while, but then to get the hamstring injury just about sums it up for me," said Matteo.

"I just turned to chase the ball and as I did I stopped because I felt my hamstring go a bit. It didn't feel good at all."
