Damien Duff's A-League career in doubt as Ireland star suffers double injury

The former Ireland man’s season looks to be over.

DAMIEN DUFF’S AUSTRALIAN adventure could well be over.

The former Ireland international has reportedly sustained a double injury that is likely to end his season down under.

Duff, currently on a one-year deal with Melbourne City, left the game against Wellington with an ankle ligament injury on Saturday.

Scans today revealed however that Duff has also ruptured a tendon in his calf.

Foxsports report that Melbourne chiefs are ‘resigned to losing [Duff] for the rest of the season”.

“He said he felt something snap and then he couldn’t walk or put any pressure on it. That’s not a good sign,” said coach  John van’t Schip after Saturday’s draw.  “Damien is a big part of our game plan.’’

    Why can’t we comment on the Vera Pauw article down below? Afraid we might all tell a few home truth about some of the snakes in the squad?

    @Dave Murray: The snakes in the squad including the manager have all got one thing in common, they all hail from Dublin.
