Soccer: Blomqvist fears end of the road

Manchester United's Swedish winger Jesper Blomqvist fears for his career after suffering another setback in his battle to recover from a knee injury.

Blomqvist has been troubled for the last 20 months with the problem and returned to Gothenburg to continue his rehabilitation.

But he is now resting up for a couple of days after suffering a relapse in training.

"I seem to take two steps forward and one step back. I am beginning to feel very down about the situation," he told manutd.com.

"I am beginning to consider quitting the game if the injury doesn't get better soon.

"I felt a twitch in my knee, and it immediately felt sore and tender. I will rest for a day or two and see how it feels next week. But I am still determined to play again in the future."

Blomqvist, 27, moved to Old Trafford from Parma for £4.4million in 1998.

He broke down in the summer of the following year after helping United lift the European Champions Cup.
