The Central Coast Mariners can today confirm that Hyundai A-League player Jake Adelson has suffered a rupture to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during the club’s pre-season friendly against Wellington Phoenix on Saturday.

On Monday, Adelson underwent scans on the Central Coast to confirm his injury. Adelson will meet with a leading Orthopedic Surgeon in Sydney this week prior to undergoing a knee reconstruction.

The Central Coast Mariners wish Jake all the best on his road to recovery.
