The season is over for Carlton’s Lachie Henderson after he sustained an injury in the dying minutes of Thursday night’s match against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium.
Scans have revealed Henderson has suffered an orbital and frontal sinus fracture to his face.
The incident happened after Henderson tackled a Fremantle player from behind and made incidental head contact following the last centre bounce.
After consultation with a specialist the decision was made for Henderson to undergo surgery in Melbourne next week.
He’s expected to make a full recovery in 4-5 weeks, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
