Lever hasn’t played since injuring his ankle in Round 2.
“We’ve been looking to manage Jake conservatively, and he’s done a power of work to try to get up for each game, but due to a lack of function and continued pain, he hasn’t been able to do that,”
“As part of our management process, we sought some expert opinions. He saw a surgeon today and, unfortunately for Jake, he will now undergo surgical intervention and he’ll likely be out for approximately eight weeks.” Melbourne High Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith.
Melbourne will likely provide updates during his rehabilitation period.
