ARG - Washington woe for Deportivo

PUERTO MADRYN (Liga Nacional) - Deportivo Madryn have suffered a blow to their Argentinian Liga Nacional play-off campaign as Derrell Washington has picked up an injury which will rule him out for the rest of the season.

The American forward tore the quadriceps of his left leg in the closing minutes of Deportivo's 106-92 win over Juventud in the first game of the best-of-five quarter-final tie.

The injury will keep him out for four months.

Coach Fabio Demtiu said: "It's a pity as Derrell has showed his quality several times.

"He had a good game and we are disappointed because he would have been very important for us during the play-offs."

As soon as the injury was confirmed, the Board decided to look for a new foreigner to replace Washington in the official roster, although the new name has not been revealed yet.
