Adelaide Crow Riley Knight is in doubt for Rd 1

Riley Knight look unlikely to be ready for the start of the AFL season after undergoing ankle surgery.

Adelaide FC’s Matt Hass said on Wednesday:

“Unfortunately Riley started to feel some soreness in his ankle and it was decided that surgery was the best course of action.

“He will be off legs while he recovers post-operation and we will look to build him back up to full fitness in around six weeks.

“He will not play any part in pre-season matches and we hope he will be available for selection in the early part of the AFL season.”
