LONDON jordan 1 wheat mens size 12 , March 12 (Xinhua) -- English Premier League club West Bromwich Albion confirmed on Wednesday that team skipper Chris Brunt will be out for five to six weeks due to a ligament damage in his knee.


"Albion have been dealt a blow with Chris Brunt being ruled out for five to six weeks due to a knee injury," said the club on its website.


The 29-year-old Brunt, a Northern Ireland midfielder, sustained the injury in his side's 3-0 loss to Manchester United on Saturday.


West Brom have grabbed 25 points after 28 matches and are currently in 17th place in the Premier League table.


The era when people depended on steeds for transportation or warfare has long gone, but the zodiac animal has left numerous genetic footprints on spoken Chinese, writes Raymond Zhou.


Yao Shaoshuang has been the most photographed horse rider in China in the past month. Donning a cowboy hat and boots for three days, he rode a black horse from his workplace in Pixian to the city of Dujiangyan jordan 1 retro wheat mens , where his mother-in-law lives, after failing to secure a bus ticket for Spring Festival travel. (The county and city lie to the northwest of Chengdu, the provincial capital.) His image appeared all over the Internet, and Yao said he received hundreds of calls, including interview requests, from the media. Apart from his inability to obtain a ticket, Yao said he made his trip on horseback as he was eager to reach his destination and to impress his in-laws on his first visit to his wife's family.


In Chinese jordan 1 high og wheat mens , there is a common word, mashang, literally "on horseback" and means "right away" or "fast". It was clearly not coined after modern modes of transportation were invented. But the irony in 24-year-old Yao's case is that he covered the 70 km in three days, slower than most hikers.


The truth, when it emerged, proved to be an anti-climax. Yao works for an equestrian club and the horse he was riding was a Dutch Warmblood (a horse of medium build designed for sports) from the Netherlands worth half a million yuan ($82,000).


Normally jordan 1 high wheat mens , such an expensive import would not appear on a hard, asphalt road, but this may also explain the ultra-slow speed, complete with numerous photo opportunities.
