Melbourne Victory can advise that Robbie Kruse sustained a right hamstring tendon injury in Friday night’s Round 18 match against Melbourne City at AAMI Park.

This is a new injury for Kruse and the club would like to clarify it is the opposite hamstring to the one he injured earlier in the season.

Barring any setbacks during his recovery, it is expected Kruse will be available for selection in the next 6-8 weeks.
