Israeli premier in plaster after football injury

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scored a goal but injured a tendon in a youth football game in which he took part on Monday and will be in plaster for weeks, his office said. "During a game between Jewish and Arab youths in Jerusalem ... The prime minister slipped on the grass, got up and scored a goal," his office said in a statement. "It appeared that he had pulled a tendon," it said, adding that a checkup by an orthopaedic specialist and a hospital CAT scan confirmed the torn tendon and his left leg was put in plaster. Netanyahu would return to work at his office on Tuesday.
