North Melbourne defender Ed Vickers-Willis injured his toe at training on Tuesday, he was unable to complete training.
Vickers-Willis will be sidelined for a short period of time prior to resuming training.
Vickers-Willis ruptured his ACL in the opening game of the 2019 H&A season, he subsequently missed the remainder of the year.
“Ed suffered a big-toe injury”
“In layman’s terms, it’s called ‘turf toe’ or even more simply put it’s a strained tendon in the toe.
“We will let it settle before we determine the next steps but early indications are that he’ll need one-to-two weeks to let it heal before we start to get some weight loading through it and ramp up his training for games.” Kangaroos GM of Football Brady Rawlings.
Vickers-Willis averaged 12.0 Disposals. 3.0 Marks & 3.3 Tackles from 7 games in 2018.
