Young West Coast ruckman Coen Livingstone has been discharged from hospital after suffering an "internal injury" from Saturday's Indigenous All Stars game.
Livingstone was named as the sole ruckman in the representative side due to the lack of experienced ruckmen available, with the teenager yet to make his AFL debut.
The Eagles NGA product spent his rookie season at the WAFL level in 2024, playing 18 games for West Coast's reserves - recording 8.1 disposals and 10.4 hitouts per game.
Livingstone showed promise against the Dockers in the All Stars' 43-point victory, going toe-to-toe with Fremantle pair Liam Reidy and Luke Jackson to amass 16 hitouts, six tackles and five touches in the victory.
His memorable night has since been met with some concern, with 10 News Perth's Steve Allen revealing Livingstone was taken to hospital after the game due to an internal injury.
The 19-year-old has since been discharged, however the extent of the ailment is yet to be confirmed.

Outside of Livingstone, the All Stars seemingly came out of the win unscathed, however that wasn't the case for the Dockers.
Fremantle forward Sam Switkowski was sidelined during the first quarter after copping a high knock from a teammate, with the club taking a cautious approach to not bring him back onto the field.
Dockers defender Brandon Walker sustained a broken nose in the opening pre-season game also.
West Coast are set to face Richmond for their first practice game on Monday before hosting North Melbourne in Bunbury on Saturday, March 1, while the Dockers will face Melbourne in Mandurah for their their next warm-up game.
