Oscar Allen to Miss Extended Period After Leg Scan Confirms Calf and Achilles Damage

His medium-term absence deepens concerns over West Coast’s struggling campaign.

West Coast has says Oscar Allen’s return from injury has no return date.

Overview

  • Scan results showed damage to Allen’s left calf and minor Achilles tendon involvement, ruling out the need for surgery.
  • West Coast Football Manager Gavin Bell said Allen will be sidelined for the medium term as he begins rehabilitation.
  • Allen joins fellow injured players Jake Waterman, Jeremy McGovern and Elliot Yeo in the Eagles’ medical ward.
  • The 26-year-old co-captain remains a restricted free agent attracting interest from Brisbane and Hawthorn with likely tier-one compensation if he departs.
  • West Coast’s 1-13 record makes them likely to secure the No.1 draft pick and, with Allen’s potential departure, a No.2 compensation pick from the AFL.
