Majak Daw has undergone arthroscopic surgery this afternoon after injuring his right knee at training on Monday.

The 25-year-old was completing straight-line running when he reported some discomfort to medical staff.

“There was no warning of any issues prior to Monday so this was an unexpected and unfortunate setback,” GM Football Cameron Joyce said.

“We discovered a tear in his meniscus so he was immediately referred to a specialist.”

After a review, Daw was admitted to hospital to have his meniscus repaired.

“It’s too difficult to put a timeframe on his return to full fitness at this stage, but we are confident he’ll be available in the opening rounds of the season,” Joyce added.

“We’ll know the extent of damage and amount of recovery time required after the surgery has been performed. At that point we will provide a further update to our members.”
