Carlton forward Charlie Curnow will undergo surgery tomorrow after sustaining a stress injury to his patella.
The 23-year-old injured his right patella last week while completing his rehabilitation program.
Head of Football, Brad Lloyd confirmed this is the same knee that Curnow had surgery on in April.
“Charlie’s patella has been complicated by this current stress injury, however whilst he has been able to continue with his rehabilitation program, his specialist orthopaedic surgeon feels that surgery to reinforce the area of bone stress will hasten his return to training and minimise the risk of further injury.
“We’re fully supportive of this approach and will continue to support Charlie through his recovery process.”
The Club will provide further comment following the surgery.
