    Wellington Phoenix defender Marisa van der Meer's copped a season-ending knee injury on the eve of her potential Football Ferns debut

    Wellington Phoenix defender Marisa van der Meer's copped a season-ending knee injury on the eve of her potential Football Ferns debut


    The 21-year-old ruptured her ACL while warming up for New Zealand in their friendly against Colombia on Sunday, with scans today confirming she'll be out for nine to 12 months.

    Phoenix coach Paul Temple says it's devastating.



    It's the third player in four weeks the Phoenix have had ruled out for the season, after losing midfielders Grace Wisnewski to a knee injury and Chloe Knott, who left the club unhappy with the culture.
