Hawthorn captain Jarryd Roughead has suffered a setback in his pre-season, undergoing left knee surgery on Monday.
Roughead will miss the next three weeks of pre-season training following the minor clean out, after presenting to club doctors with swelling in his knee following training.
โWe found out that Jarryd requires a minor clean up procedure which means that heโs is likely to be out for the next 2-3 weeks,โ Hawthorn General Manager of Football Operation Jason Burt said.
โThis is obviously disappointing for Jarryd to miss out on pre-season camp however, he remains positive and will now concentrate on his rehab.
โThis is only a minor set-back and we expect Jarryd to be fresh and ready for the start of the season.โ
