Sharn Freier's hopes of a late call-up to play for the Matildas in the Asian Cup have received a hammer blow with her club Brisbane confirming she has suffered an ACL injury.
The 24-year-old will be sidelined for an extended period after going down in the 91st minute of the Roar's 2-2 draw with Central Coast last Friday night.
She will undergo surgery in the coming weeks followed by an immediate rehabilitation program.
