St Kilda Football Club advises captain Jarryn Geary has sustained a fractured fibula.



X-rays immediately after the game confirmed a clean fracture low down in his left leg.



GM of Football Simon Lethlean said Geary would miss an extended period.



“Unfortunately x-rays confirmed a break which means Jarryn will be sidelined for a number of weeks,” he said.



“Knowing Jarryn, he will do everything he can to be back as quickly as possible but a return towards the very end of the season would be the best case scenario.



“Given how hard he has worked to get back, it’s obviously frustrating to encounter another setback.



“We have had a number of guys step up this season and take their opportunities and we will need that to continue in the absence again of our captain.”



Geary’s travel back to Australia will not be impacted by the injury.
