Long underwent further assessment to determine the severity of the injury.
He is set to miss the 2026 season with knee ligament damage (via Ryan Daniels).
“Unfortunately, Noah sustained a serious injury to his knee in which multiple ligaments were damaged,”
“Although there is no damage to the cartilage, which is great for his long-term outcome, Noah will require surgery in the coming weeks once his knee has settled down.” West Coast Head of High Performance Phil Merriman.
West Coast play Gold Coast in their season opener on Sunday March 15 at Optus Stadium.
