“Following the game, Clayton reported some rib soreness and knee soreness,”
“The following day, we had some scans on his knee and his ribs and that’s shown that he has a low-grade PCL to one of his knees that he sustained in the game, with a player falling across his leg.“
“He’s also sustained three rib fractures in an incident during the game as well.” Melbourne High Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith.
