Adelaide defender Luke Brown has been ruled out of the Club’s Round 13 game against Hawthorn.

Brown injured his ankle in a marking contest in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to Fremantle.

Crows General Manager High Performance Matt Hass said he expected the 25-year-old to only miss one game.

“Scans have shown a lateral ankle sprain which will keep Browny out for this weekend,” Hass said.

“Given we have the bye the week after we expect him to only miss one match and return for our Round 15 game against West Coast.”
