Irish midfielder sidelined for six

Irish midfielder sidelined for six

He’s been one of his club’s most consistent players this season but Sydney FC will be forced to resurrect its 2008/09 Hyundai A-League campaign without midfielder, Terry McFlynn, who looks set to sit out the next 6 weeks after suffering a knee injury in Saturday’s 2-nil loss to Adelaide United.

He-s been one of his club-s most consistent players this season but Sydney FC will be forced to resurrect its 2008/09 Hyundai A-League campaign without midfielder, Terry McFlynn, who looks set to sit out the next 6 weeks after suffering a knee injury in Saturday-s 2-nil loss to Adelaide United.

McFlynn-s involvement in the round 12 contest came to an end after a heavy collision with Reds- defender Scott Jamieson in the 56th minute of the match, and scans taken today are expected to confirm a grade two tear to the Posterior Cruciate Ligament in his left knee.

“It-s disappointing but my focus now is on my rehab and building up the strength in my knee so I can get back on the field as soon as possible,” said the 27-year-old. “It-s been a tough few weeks for the club but we-ve got more than enough talent to turn things around and I-m looking forward to being back in time for the finals.”

While McFlynn-s loss comes as a blow to the Sky Blues there is some good news on the injury front, with Jacob Timpano taking a big step in his recovery from ankle surgery last Saturday.

The talented central defender has been back in full training for a number of weeks and last weekend returned to the fray, playing the full 90 minutes in Sydney-s National Youth League victory over Adelaide.

“It felt good to be back,” he said. “I-ve been working hard on my fitness since having the bone spur removed from my ankle and I-m feeling 100%.”

“My aim is to regain my spot in the first team do my bit to help Sydney win another championship.”

This weekend is shaping up as a massive one for Sydney FC with all three of its sides set to take on the Queensland Roar in table-defining contests across the Hyundai A-League, Westfield W-League and National Youth League.

The senior men-s side will be looking to regain its place in the top 4 when it faces off against the Roar at the Sydney Football Stadium at 8pm on Friday night.
