New York Islanders forward John Tavares, who suffered a partially torn MCL in his left knee during the Sochi Olympics, will not require surgery. Speaking to members of the media on Tuesday for the first time since returning home from the Winter Games, Tavares said he will need eight to 12 weeks to fully recover. Tavares sustained the injury during Canadas quarterfinal game against Latvia when he was hit by defenceman Artus Kulda. Despite being injured in an Olympic contest, the 23-year-old said he has no regrets about playing for Canada and would make the same decision again. "I think its important for us to play," Tavares said. "I love playing for my country and if I got the call again, I would." The former first overall pick of the Islanders said he also understood general manager Garth Snows anger at the IIHF and IOC after his injury because Snow cares solely about his team. "You understand why teams are concerned about injuries. I know he cares a lot about the Islanders and so do I." Prior to the Olympic break, Tavares was third in the NHL in points, tied for the Islanders lead in goals and leading the team in assists.

Rooney cant play for England if hes fielded in a different role for his club, Wyett says Rooney was left on the bench for Manchester Uniteds last three matches, and The Sun football editor Charlie Wyett claims he should consider a move away from Old Trafford to focus on playing in a midfield position for club as well as country.Its not going to happen, but I think Rooney, next summer, should look at leaving United and play somewhere for the next year in that position every week, in central midfield, he told Sunday Supplement. Jose Mourinho has left Rooney out of the starting lineup during Manchester Uniteds last three games United, I assume, are not going to want him to go, and Wayne Rooney is not going to want to leave Manchester United. But, in terms of England, if he is going to play in that position then he has to be playing there every week otherwiise hes not going to perform for England.dddddddddddd So, as a result, I think he should be on the bench and not start the England games.Wyett, who believes the booing by some England fans was uncalled for, alluded to the fact that Jose Mourinho favours playing Rooney up front as opposed to a deeper role.
