Djemba-Djemba to Miss Pre-Season Tour
Manchester United midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba looks very likely to miss United's tour of the USA later this month after picking up an injury whilst representing his country - Cameroon.

The 23-year old had to be replaced moments before half-time during Cameroon's World Cup Qualifying match against Ivory Coast after his injury-plagued knee started to cause problems.

Ever since his move to Old Trafford from Nantes last year, Djemba-Djemba has had a dodgy knee that forced him to miss out on many games during the season.

John O'Shea will also miss out due to injury so too will Diego Forlan, Kleberson and Gabriel Heinze as they will be representing their respective countries in the Copa America tournament.
