Crows midfielder Brad Crouch is embarking on a rehabilitation program after re-injuring his foot.

Crouch, who left the ground in the first quarter of Sunday’s SANFL win over Port, will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. He has a stress reaction in the same foot in which he suffered a fracture during the NAB Challenge in March.

Crows Head of Football David Noble said Crouch will wear a moon boot for a couple of weeks.

“Brad had worked hard and done everything right to get back and we will continue to take a conservative approach with his rehabilitation,” he said.

Fellow midfielder Rory Sloane has undergone surgery to repair a fractured cheekbone with a 4-6 week lay-off anticipated.
