Heart Captain and Former MLSer Fred to Miss Melbourne Derby

The Herald Sun is reporting that Melbourne Heart captain Fred will miss this weekend's Melbourne Derby due to injury. Fred injured his hamstring in the first half of last weekend's 1-2 loss to Perth Glory.

MLS fans will be interested because of Fred's MLS career with DC United and the Philadelphia Union. What they may not be aware of is the fact that before coming to MLS,he was a play maker for the Melbourne Victory, notching 4 assists in the 2007 A-League Grand Final. Needless to say, with his history with the Victory, it would have been interesting to see him on the pitch this weekend.

Melbourne Victory captain Adrian Liejer will also miss the derby after picking up a red card (via two yellows) in last week's match with Adelaide.
