Manchester United and Brazilian midfielder Anderson tore his ACL in Tuesday's 3-0 win against West Ham.
It's a costly injury as he's not expected to recover for ten months, meaning his EPL and Champions League seasons and World Cup tournament are all done.
Ironically, he was starting to get back in Sir Alex Ferguson's good graces after a falling out with his manager in January.
The injuries are piling up for United as Rio Ferdinand is out for a couple weeks with a back injury and Ryan Giggs won't return until April due to a broken arm.
Nani and Anderson joined United from Porto in 2007 but Anderson has failed to live up to his expectations as one of the top prospects in European soccer.
He only has 1 goal in almost 100 appearances for Manchester United.
