Wayne Milera has been ruled out of Adelaide’s clash with Hawthorn because of a quad complaint.

Milera experienced quad soreness late in the Club’s win over the Sydney Swans on Saturday night.

GM of High Performance Brett Burton said the promising first-year Crow, who has played the opening four games of his debut AFL season, required further assessment on the injury.

“Wayne, unfortunately, hurt his quad in the last quarter and he’ll be unavailable to play this week,” Burton said.

“We’re still gathering information on that and we’ll have an update in the next 24 - 48 hours.”

Ruckman Sam Jacobs has been cleared of any serious damage after an injury scare in the third quarter.

“You would’ve seen big ‘Sauce’ Jacobs come off with a knee injury,” Burton said.

“He was assessed and it was just a knock on the knee, so he went back out and was able to finish the game.

“He’ll be available to play this week.”

Brad Crouch is nearing a return after a fortnight out with a hamstring issue.

Burton said the young midfielder could be available for selection as early as this week.

“Brad’s been going along really well over the last week or two,” he said.

“He’s been building up his training loads from that slight hamstring strain. We’ll assess him later in the week to see whether he’ll be available for selection.”

The news isn’t as good for Curtly Hampton, who suffered a setback in his recovery from a foot injury.

Hampton has had surgery to repair plantar fascia tissue in his left foot and will be sidelined for up to another two months.

“Curtly’s had that foot issue for a while now,” Burton said.

“We made the decision to be aggressive with that and he had surgery on Friday just to release the plantar fascia.

“That surgery has quite a good success rate, so we expect Curtly to be available again in 6 – 8 weeks.”

Rookie-listed duo Paul Hunter (ankle) and Alex Keath, who had a limited football pre-season because of cricket commitments, will also be available for selection for the first time this SANFL season.

Adelaide’s SANFL team takes on Glenelg at Gliderol Stadium on Sunday, April 24. Entry is free for ticketed Crows members.
