Monday, February 12, 2007

Dutch club SC Heerenveen have suffered a major blow with star striker Afonso Alves being ruled out for six weeks with ligament damage in his left knee.

Remarkable record
The 26-year-old Brazilian tore a ligament during Heerenveen's Eredivisie draw against BV Vitesse on Saturday. Alves has scored a remarkable 22 goals in 24 games since joining Heerenveen from Malmö FF last summer.
