St Kilda’s Brad Crouch has undergone knee surgery that will see the midfielder miss up to two months of action.
Crouch was not named for the Saints’ Round 2 clash with Collingwood due to the injury, joining the club’s extensive casualty list early into the 2024 season.
The Saints have lost Liam Henry (hamstring) and Mason Wood (collarbone) for extended periods in the wake of their win over the reigning premiers, with Crouch now set to join the pair on the sidelines.
Brad had surgery on his knee yesterday to address the issue, which will take about six to eight weeks to rehab,” St Kilda football boss David Misson said in a club update.
“We do have some players closing in on a return though, so through list depth and injury returns, we’ll look to fill the gaps with a next man up mentality.”
