Tom Doedee is in doubt for Round 1 of the AFL 2020 season after he hyperextended the left knee he had reconstructed last year.
Doedee “landed awkwardly following an aerial contest last week”.
According to the club:
“Tom’s ACL is unaffected, which is pleasing and a testament to the work that he and the medical and high performance team have put into his rehabilitation,” Kelly said.
“There is some minor bone bruising evident on MRI which is a setback and it is likely Tom will not be available for selection in our final Marsh Community Series game.
“Everyone at the Club obviously wants him back in our AFL team as soon as possible.
“However, we will need take into account our upcoming playing schedule, including SANFL trial games, with a view to him returning in the early rounds of the season.”
Minor setback but nothing concerning long term!
