Socceroos striker Martin Boyle faces a setback as he sustains an injury during a club match for Hibernian. The incident occurred when Boyle suddenly stopped running and fell to the ground in the 33rd minute of the Scottish Premiership game against Aberdeen, which ended in a 2-0 home win for Hibs. The 32-year-old, known for his speed and skill, was substituted and will undergo scans to assess the extent of the damage. This injury is a concern for Boyle, who has been a key player for Hibernian this season, scoring five goals and serving as stand-in skipper. Coach David Gray expressed his worry, noting that Boyle's sudden stop was a clear sign of discomfort. Despite the setback, Boyle has time to recover before the Socceroos' World Cup campaign begins on June 14 in Vancouver. However, he is no stranger to injury heartbreak, having missed previous tournaments due to knee injuries and a torn ACL. Meanwhile, other Australian players made their mark in the Scottish Premiership, with John Koutroumbis, Oscar Priestman, and Zac Sapsford contributing to their respective teams' victories.
