Tadhg Kennelly will miss at least three rounds with knee ligament damage.
Sydney Swans’ Irish defender Tadhg Kennelly will be out for at least three weeks as the result of a knee injury he picked up against the Fremantle Dockers on Saturday afternoon.
The Kerryman went off injured in the opening minutes of the Swans’ defeat at the SCG when he suffered a bang to the side of his left leg, and scans today revealed that he had suffered a medial ligament strain in his knee.
“The early indications are three weeks. Tadhg’s normally pretty good… at recovering so who knows, but at this stage we’d plan to not have him for the next three games,” Swans coach Paul Roos said today.
Elsewhere, Setanta Ó hAilpín’s Carlton Blues suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Hawthorn in Melbourne yesterday. The big Corkman had just three possessions as his side suffered their first defeat in three games.
