Fremantle's injury woes have gone from bad to worse, with exciting youngster Minairo Frederick suffering a calf strain.
As first reported by The West Australian's Jordan McArdle, the injury is expected to sideline the 20-year old for three weeks.
Frederick is coming off an impressive two-goal display in Sunday's AAMI Community Series clash against West Coast and is set for more senior opportunities this year.
He was drafted with Pick 61 in the 2019 AFL draft and made his debut last year, playing 10 games for the club.
As reported by @jordan_mc12, another injury for @freodockers. Michael Frederick has a calf strain. Looking at 3 weeks sidelined. Was one of the Dockers best on Sunday.
