Soccer Betting Lines

03/17/2010 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester City left-back Wayne Bridge has been ruled out for around a month after being forced to undergo surgery to correct a hernia problem.

The 29-year-old, who recently retired from international football, was forced off after just over half an hour of the 1-1 weekend draw at Sunderland, having been troubled by a knee injury earlier this season.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Wayne Bridge is battling to feature again this season after undergoing a hernia operation.

"The defender is not long back from a knee injury that kept him out of the side for 13 matches between the beginning of December and beginning of February.

"This time the luckless 29-year-old is expected to be sidelined for around a month just when the race for the Champions League places heats up."
