New Zealand's Garbett ruled out of World Cup with injury

Fort Lauderdale

New Zealand midfielder Matt Garbett has been ruled out of ​the World Cup after suffering a ‌hamstring injury in training ahead of his side's 2-2 draw with Iran in their ​Group G opener. The ​whole squad’s thoughts are with Matt ⁠at this time and we ​are gutted he won’t be able ​to play in the tournament, New Zealand Football said in a social media post. Auckland ​FC forward Logan Rogerson has been ​called up as a replacement for Garbett, ‌who ⁠plays for Peterborough United in England's third tier. Matty’s a good mate of mine and I am really gutted ​for him, ​Rogerson ⁠said in an Auckland statement. It’s a weird feeling to ​be honest, slightly conflicted as ​I ⁠am also buzzing to get out there and meet up with the ⁠team.
