Soccer: Van der Gouw has knee op

Raimond van der Gouw will miss Manchester United’s Champions League match against Panathinaikos in Athens tomorrow because he is having an operation on a long-standing knee problem.

The Dutch goalkeeper remained in Manchester yesterday when the United squad flew out to Greece and instead 19-year-old Paul Rachubka will act as Fabien Barthez’s understudy in tomorrow’s game.
