SOC:Injured Socceroo's EPL dream over after Boro loss

Riley McGree Sammy Silvera Middlesbrough EPL

Riley McGree's Premier League dream is over and the Socceroos star will hope his World Cup hopes aren't also dashed after limping off with a hamstring injury in Middlesbrough's Championship play-off final defeat to Hull City at Wembley.

Middlesbrough's two Socceroos, McGree and Sammy Silvera, were shattered after all the drama surrounding the Championship playoffs ended with a deflating, last-gasp 1-0 loss.

Key attacker McGree played for 76 minutes of Saturday's final before coming off with a left hamstring issue - just three weeks out from Australia's opening group stage match against Turkey.

Silvera watched on powerless from the bench as Middlesbrough controlled most of the possession but couldn't find the cutting edge they needed in a game of fairly dismal quality on a sweltering London afternoon.
