Apostolos Stamatelopoulos injured during starting debut for Scottish Premiership club

·

Socceroos striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos has been injured during his starting debut for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.

According to news.com.au, Stamatelopoulos was forced off with an upper leg injury in the dying stages of the first-half of Motherwell’s 2-1 weekend loss to Rangers.

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell said “the last thing we needed was an injury” for Stamatelopoulos.

“It doesn’t look great at this point. There was a bit of tightness in his thigh, very quickly that turned into something a bit sharper, and something that might be a bit more significant. We need to wait and see, and assess that,” Kettlewell said.

Stamatelopoulos’ injury could also jeopardise his hopes of being selected in Australia’s Socceroos squad for next month’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain and Indonesia.
