TweetFacebook of Rapana seemed as though he had been hit by a sniper in the stands when he hit the deck early in the second half in what early indications suggest is a posterior cruciate ligament tear.Recovery time for a PCL injury not requiring surgery is often about six to eight weeks, however a reconstruction would signal the end of Rapana's season.His absence would rob Canberra of their two major strike weapons given they are already missing his inside man in Joey Leilua, who is unlikely to feature again this year after undergoing neck surgery.
