Extended recovery for Mooreby Adrian Ceddia
10:59 AM Thu 19 May, 2011Key Richmond defender Kel Moore has been placed on the long-term injury list while he recovers from a hip injury.
The 27-year-old played 19 games in 2010 (for a total of 84), before undergoing surgery on his hip in the off-season.
Under the AFL rules for players on the long-term injury list, Moore will be sidelined for a minimum of eight weeks.
“Kel has had some issues with his hip in the past, which means we’ll be fairly conservative with him,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager Matthew Hornsby.
“We have a thorough plan for his recovery, which he is responding to really well so far. He’s heading in the direction we want him to.”
The Club has yet to decide on upgrading a player from the rookie list to replace Moore.
