Soccer: Knights suffer another injury blow

The injury curse has hit the New Zealand Knights again in soccer's A-League.

Midfielder Richard Johnson is out of action for three to six weeks after suffering a hamstring strain in Sunday's defeat to Adelaide.

Johnson is set to see a specialist in the next 24 hours to determine the nature of the strain. Coach Paul Nevin has already begun searching for a short term replacement.

Johnson's injury is one in a long list for the Knights that includes Dani Rodrigues, who is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
