Collingwood defender Lynden Dunn's season appears to be over, amid growing fears that the veteran reportedly suffered an ACL injury on the weekend.
The 31-year old injured his knee during the third quarter of his side' 39-point win over the Suns at Metricon Stadium and did not return.
And by all reports, the ex-Demon is set for season-ending knee surgery, but is awaiting further scans today.
Lynden Dunn having scans on his knee today. Fears at Collingwood that he may have injured his ACL. Fingers crossed.

It would be a sickening blow for the second-placed Pies, who have been plagued with injuries this season. Dunn was enjoying a career-best year in the black and white, averaging 12.8 disposals and 4.1 marks in 14 games while shutting down the opposition's best forward each week.
Another cruel injury blow for pies. I’m hearing Dunn is season ending knee. They’ve got depth. But VFL slide indicates it’s perhaps beginning to run thin. More scans this morning, so fingers crossed. We’ll have latest @talkingfooty
