Adelaide star Erin Phillips will miss the Crowsโ grand final rematch against Brisbane on Saturday night, after suffering an injury at training.
Phillips suffered a quad strain at training, and has been replaced in the line-up by Sophie Armistead.
Phillips, who was crowned Adelaideโs best and fairest winner in their premiership year, was in doubt during the week, but was set to line-up before being a late change.
โWeโre hoping itโs only a minor injury, but weโll see how it settles down over the next few days,โ Crows coach Bec Goddard said.
โWeโve managed Erinโs training loads throughout her first, full football pre-season and she was on track to play right up until last night.
โObviously, itโs disappointing but it will be a good opportunity for other players to step up with Erin and another one of our leaders, Courtney Cramey, out of the side.โ
