Melbourne Victory's rollercoaster A-League campaign has hit another devastating low, with the confirmation that star recruit Luis Nani will miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.
The former Manchester United superstar, 36, was touted as one of the biggest signings in A-League history when he joined the Victory in July last year after four English Premier League (EPL) titles and a Champions League victory for the Red Devils, as well as a host of other honours in his storied career.
Victory confirmed the winger ruptured his anteror cruciate ligament (ACL) in a clash of legs with Brisbane Roar's Connor Chapman late in Victory's 1-0 defeat on Friday night at a ghostly quiet AAMI Park.
