Rozee averaged 55.3pts from 16 games in 2020, he scored a season high 85pts in Round 1.
The planned surgery for Rozee will allow for a return in several weeks, during that time an opportunity will be available in the Port Adelaide team.
Power coach Ken Hinkley last year provided an insight into team selection well in advance of teams being name, hopefully that continues this season.

Rozee was expected to see an increase in midfield usage, that available usage may also be an opportunity for other Power players.
Rozee is now a pass in AFL Fantasy classic to start the season, he’s now a very late selection in 10 team standard draft leagues.
