Shaun Hampson met today with the Carlton medical team and his specialist to determine the extent of the injury to his right knee injured during Friday night's victory over Collingwood at the MCG.

Shaun will undergo arthroscopic surgery tomorrow and will miss the remainder of the 2012 season.

General Manager Football Operations Andrew McKay said it was disappointing but important for Shaun to have the surgery to ensure he is ready for pre-season training.

"It is obviously disappointing for Shaun, as well as for the team. Importantly the surgery will repair the knee and ensure he is available to resume full training prior to Christmas."
