Full back Nathan Brown’s season is over, with the premiership defender to undergo surgery on his injured right shoulder.
Brown reinjured the shoulder he dislocated in round two during the first quarter of Saturday’s eight-point win over West Coast.
“After meeting the surgeon today, it was decided that he will have an operation later in the week. That will be the rest of the year for him,” Director of Football Rodney Eade told CollingwoodTV’s Blackmores Injury Report.
“It’s a 16 week recovery so he’s got a couple of other little ailments as well – he’ll have a little knee scrape – so we’ll get all those done over that period but unfortunately Nathan won’t play the rest of the year.”
Unfortunately hospital waiting rooms are no stranger to Brown, who missed the entire 2011 season after undergoing a knee reconstruction during the pre-season.
Brown spent two weeks in the grandstands after originally injuring his shoulder during the win over Sydney in round two but went on to play four consecutive matches in the VFL before earning the call up against the Eagles.
Fellow key backman Jack Frost will be assessed during the week after sitting out the second half of Saturday’s win with concussion.
The club is taking a wait and see approach with small defender Ben Sinclair who injured his hamstring Saturday’s VFL encounter with Geelong.
“There is a bit of bleeding, he had a scan this morning,” Eade explained.
“There’s a bit of bleeding in his leg so it’s hard to decipher, whether it’s muscle or tendon.
“The early prognosis is it’s the muscle, which is a good sign, so we’ll have another scan next week once the blood dissipates so best case scenario is he’ll be 3-4, worst case it could be 8-10, so we’ll just have to have greater clarification next week.”
