Pantelidis quits Glory, Smeltz injured Perth Glory have suffered a major double blow, with defender Steve Pantelidis quitting the A-League club and star striker Shane Smeltz ruled out for up to four weeks with an ankle injury. Pantelidis will leave for Kuala Lumpur later this week after signing a deal with Malaysian Super League outfit Selangor FC. His departure leaves Glory light on for options in defence heading into Friday night's clash with Wellington Phoenix in Perth. That means 18-year-old Matt Davies, Riley Woodcock, also 18, and 21-year-old Jack Clisby are all likely to get gigs in defence this week. Glory will also be without suspended skipper Jacob Burns, while Smeltz has been ruled out for up to a month after damaging ankle ligaments during last week's 1-0 loss to Brisbane. Smeltz missed the start of the season after undergoing surgery on his hip, and his latest injury setback comes at a bad time for Perth, who are already without a host of their best players. Pantelidis, who won an A-League title with Melbourne Victory in 2006/07, had been a vital cog at the Glory since linking up with the club in 2011. The 30-year-old had played predominantly in defence, but the arrival of former French international Gallas meant Pantelidis would have been squeezed out of a starting berth. As a club, we do not want to stand in the way of (a) player seeking to pursue overseas aspirations. Former Melbourne Victory mentor Mehmet Durakovic is coaching Selangor FC. Consecutive losses have resulted in Perth slipping to seventh on the table.
