Riley McGree's Premier League dream is over and the Socceroos star will hope his World Cup hopes aren't also dashed after limping off with a hamstring injury in Middlesbrough's Championship play-off final defeat to Hull City at Wembley.
Middlesbrough's two Socceroos, McGree and Sammy Silvera, were shattered after all the drama surrounding the Championship playoffs ended with a deflating, last-gasp 1-0 loss.
Key attacker McGree was forced off in the 76th minute of Saturday's final after pulling up from a challenge with a left hamstring issue - just three weeks out from Australia's opening group stage match against Turkey.
