Sachin Tendulkar and Bhutia both injured

Both greats of their individual sports and both at the moment are injured. While the national teams are struggling to perform in their matches. Indian Soccer team captain Bhaichung Bhutia has been ruled out of next week’s Asian 2006 World Cup qualifier match against Japan due to a knee surgery which he suffered in a tournament in Vietnam last week and is expected to be out of the game for six weeks.

There's too much pressure all over it......Too many expectations rest on one individual in either case - once more good sports-persons take to sports, the situation should improve, we wouldn't have as many burn-outs.

tendulkar is not even expected to win matches for us anymore. when was the last time he did win a match for us? he has a part to play. and well he got injured after a 3 month break. nice. even with rahul dravid and virender sehwag coming good...

Battered and beaten from Pakistan to Sri Lanka, and now England… India has more bad news on its hand. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is out of the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Andrew Leipus, the physio of the team confirmed today the doubts express earlier this week by Saurav Ganguly that Sachin might not recover from the injury which has kept him out from the NatWest Challenge.
