LONDON (Reuters) - Australia defender Rhys Williams could miss his second successive World Cup finals after suffering a freak Achilles tendon injury in Middlesbrough's 0-0 draw with Wigan Athletic on Tuesday.
The full extent of the injury was not immediately known but his English Championship (second tier) club coach Aitor Karanka expressed "deep sympathy" for the player who missed the 2010 World Cup finals after damaging his pelvic area.
