Adelaide forward Josh Rachele will undergo knee surgery after landing awkwardly in a marking contest in yesterday’s game against Melbourne.
Scans have confirmed Rachele avoided any ligament damage however, the 22-year-old suffered a Posterior Capsular tear along with a bone compression injury.
Crows High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said the Club would have a better understanding of Rachele’s rehabilitation timeframe following his surgery.
“Thankfully, Josh has avoided any ligament damage in the knee, which is a relief,” Burgess said.
“He’ll have surgery to elevate the bone in his knee and likely be in a brace for a few weeks.
“Once out of the brace, we’ll progress his training loads from there.”
