This is bad: Carlos Hernández injured himself at training last week and is expected to miss six weeks.
Ernie Merrick said:
“It was just one of those training incidents with no one near him. He turned and his foot got stuck and twisted his knee.”
Six weeks means that the Costa Rican will miss Melbourne’s first three matches […]
