Adelaide United vice-captain Lucas Pantelis has been cleared of any serious damage to his knee after he landed awkwardly on the weekend.

The attacking midfielder fell to the ground when attempting to get around a Melbourne Heart defender in the Reds' 2-0 win at AAMI Park on Friday night and had to be substituted at half-time.

He has a history of knee issues, but luckily for both him and the club, has been cleared of any serious damage and should be right to take on third-placed Gold Coast United this Friday night.
