Sydney FC striker Victor Campuzano out for season with ACL injury

Spanish forward Victor Campuzano, 29, suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while training with Sydney FC. The injury will keep him sidelined for several months, likely ruling him out of the A-League Men 2026‑27 season. Campuzano will return to Spain for surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, and his contract expires at the end of the campaign.

The club, coached by Patrick Kisnorbo, said the loss leaves Sydney FC without an experienced senior striker as they search for a replacement. Kisnorbo praised Campuzano’s character and wished him a swift recovery. The incident follows the departure of other forwards and underscores the team’s urgent need to reinforce its attacking options.
