Scans Confirm Adductor Strain for DockersHayden Young

Fremantle will be without Young for Saturday’s Port Adelaide clash, putting pressure on its midfield rotation.

Overview

  • Scans have revealed that Young suffered an adductor strain in Round 21 and will miss at least Fremantle’s next match against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
  • He was substituted at quarter-time after injuring his groin late in the first quarter of the Dockers’ 27-point come-from-behind win over Carlton.
  • The Dockers have won 10 of their past 11 games and sit fifth on the ladder, trailing fourth-placed Geelong by percentage.
  • Dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe is under consideration to bolster Fremantle’s midfield in Young’s absence, with a recall possible this week.
  • Carlton defender Harry O’Farrell injured his knee during the same match and now awaits scans to confirm a suspected ACL tear.
