Hugh Greenwood will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after it was revealed that he suffered an MCL tear.
Greenwood went down early in the Suns win over the Giants last weekend and there were originally fears he had injured his ACL.

Coach Stuart Dew shared those fears when he told Fox Footy that it looked likely Greenwood had suffered an ACL injury at half time of the win. However, scans have shown that the ACL wasn't injured meaning Greenwood should be back for the start of pre-season.
The Suns tweeted the bittersweet news on Tuesday morning.
"We can confirm that Hugh Greenwood has suffered an MCL tear and will miss the remainder of the season," the tweet read.
