By Stephen Bateman - Created on 7 Feb 2006
Valencia striker Patrick Kluivert is set to go under the knife for knee surgery.
The former Newcastle United striker complained of a pain in his right knee after a training session and is now set for a hospital visit in the next few days.
The 29-year-old has been plagued with injury problems throughout his spell with Valencia and his initial move from United was held up for three weeks as he recovered from surgery on his other knee.
Subsequently he has experienced joint and muscular problems that have restricted him to just one start for the Liga outfit.
