Overview
- Monday imaging confirmed a high-grade hamstring tendon rupture for Connor Rozee after he was injured in the Round 2 win over Essendon.
- Port Adelaide indicated he will likely require surgery, with a return timeline to be set after consultation, and Rozee hopes to play in the second half of the season.
- Rozee described immediate numbness in his leg and an inability to walk at the time of the incident.
- Coach Josh Carr said the diagnosis sours the victory and that the club is preparing for a significant absence for its captain.
- Miles Bergman’s ankle issue is considered minor and he could return as soon as round four, while Essendon’s Mason Redman will have knee surgery and several other AFL players have recently suffered hamstring injuries.
