Port Adelaide skipper Connor Rozee is expected to have an extended stint on the sidelines with Power coach Josh Carr revealing he’s likely suffered tendon damage in his hamstring.
Rozee was assisted off by medical staff in the third term of Port’s win over Essendon on Sunday.
It became apparent that Rozee had suffered a hamstring injury.
“He’s obviously a bit flat. It doesn’t look great,” Carr told reporters after the game.
“Initially there was a bit of nerve damage and he couldn’t feel his leg.
“Obviously reviewing it after the game, it looks likely a tendon involved. Fingers crossed it’s not, but that’s probably the most likely scenario.
“It sours (the win) because our skipper has what could be a significant injury, and we don’t want that for anyone in our footy club.
“He’s an important leader and person. We’re flat about that, but someone else gets an opportunity to come in and fill that role.”
