Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks with a hamstring strain.

The 32 year old sustained the injury during the Sky Blues 1-1 draw with Melbourne Victory last Saturday night.

Head Coach Graham Arnold said: “It’s a big blow.  At the start of the year when we did our recruitment I was looking for Alex Brosque to be a key figure and one of our main goalscorers. 

“He has missed 14 games so far this season and as our leader and captain it’s a big blow.  We now need everyone else to step up and fill his shoes.”

The strain is a new injury for the Sky Blues striker and Brosque will undergo close work with club medical staff to ensure no future issues.
