Sounders FC has provided a few quotes from midfieder Freddie Ljungberg (via his agent) regarding his hip surgery on Friday (see post below):

“I am so happy we (me and SSFC) jointly took the decision to do this surgery.”

“I feel I am in the best hands here in Vail with Dr. Philippon and his medical staff. Sounders FC is also backing me up tremendously well.”

“My way back to play is already starting. I had my first ‘work out’18 hours after the surgery, here in the hospital. We are doing rehab training twice a day.

"I can’t wait to join the Sounders FC players and will do that as soon as I can.”
