"It's good to be back. The training is very intense. It's nice to play at this level, and focus on the next goal of qualifying for the World Cup. I still hope to be part of this team in the future."
-- Tony Sanneh, who’s in training camp with the USA in preparation for Saturday's friendly against Haiti. A starter of all five U.S. games at the 2002 World Cup, Sanneh, who plays for German Second Division club Nuremberg, has been out of action with injury for almost 15 months. (ussoccer.com)
"Basically the problem started with inflammation in the SI joint in my back, and my pelvis was also unstable. The inflammation causes pain, and the joint tries to fix itself by growing bone around it. The bone growth began to rub against another bone, causing more pain. The problem then travels to the muscles. You basically feel like your muscles are cramped all the time, which makes it impossible to run."
-- Sanneh, who has been examined by at least 20 doctors. (ussoccer.com)
