Onyewu suffers torn patellar tendon

U.S. national team defender Oguchi Onyewu will be sidelined for around three to four months after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his left knee during the U.S. team's 2-2 tie vs. Costa Rica on Wednesday night in Washington D.C.

Onyewu was challenging for a corner kick in the 83rd minute when his left knee gave after he tried to plant it.
