Injury Hub: Young Roo under knife to repair fractured jaw
By SEN
As always there is a heap of injury news to keep on top of around the AFL.
North Melbourne's Finn O'Sullivan has suffered an unfortunate fracture to the jaw.
He will undergo surgery, and is looking at a potential 2-3 weeks on the sidelines.
The Western Bulldogs suffered a trio of injuries against the Dons, with one occurring before a ball as kicked.
Midfielder Ed Richards was withdrawn prior to the start of the contest, with an expected issue to the tendon behind his knee. The extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed.
Arty Jones was on fire in his return to the side before exiting the game with a hamstring. He is expected to return in 2-4 weeks.
Ruckman Tim English looks to have copped the worst of it, with scans confirming an MCL injury. The star will be assessed, and is expecting to miss some time.
