Sven-Goran Eriksson will send Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson for an operation on Tuesday that is likely to keep the youngster out for three weeks.The England Under-21 international was forced out of City´s 1-0 win over Sunderland at half-time following a recurrence of the groin injury which has plagued him for most of the season. Although it was hoped Johnson would avoid surgery, Eriksson confirmed the situation has become intolerable.And, after a planned meeting between Eriksson and the City medical staff, a decision seems sure to be taken for Johnson to go under the knife.
