Collingwood confirms forward Jamie Elliott sustained an ACL injury in yesterday’s game against Waalitj Marawar.
Elliott left the field late in the final quarter, with scans this morning confirming the extent of the injury.
Captain Darcy Moore has a moderate grade hamstring injury after he was removed from play just before half time, while Will Hayes dislocated his shoulder in the fourth quarter.
The pair will undergo further assessment and the Club will provide an update on timelines for Moore and Hayes in the coming days.
EGM Football Charlie Gardiner said:
“We are all incredibly disappointed for Jamie,”
“Scans this morning confirmed that he has ruptured his ACL and has also sustained some bone bruising in the knee.
"Jamie has endured a number of significant injury setbacks across his career and for him to face this latest setback is unfortunate for him and his family and for us as a Club. He's a much loved and respected leader at our Club and we're all feeling for him.
"We will miss his on-field presence this year but he will no doubt continue to play an important role across the Club during his recovery."
