SUNS midfielder Aaron Hall is set for an extended stint on the sidelines after scans confirmed the 27-year-old sustained an injury to his pectoral tendon on Saturday.

While the exact length of time is yet to be determined, similar injuries typically incur a 10 to 12 week recovery period.

“Unfortunately Aaron suffered a significant injury to his pec muscle on the weekend during a tackle and this will see him miss an extended period of football,” SUNS rehabilitation manager Alex Rigby told the Alpha Sport Injury Update.

“We’re seeking a few specialists’ opinions over the next couple of days and we’ll know better for his plan moving forward after we’ve chatted to those.”

The club confirmed yesterday captain Steven May would be unavailable for selection after suffering an ankle injury in the loss to Geelong.

May is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks after scans confirmed damage to the lateral ligament in his right ankle.

“The next couple of weeks will be an early period where it will be offloaded in the boot doing lots of pool walking and ankle mobility,” Rigby said.

“(We’ll be) building it back up with a lot of ankle strengthening and hopefully (he can) return to play at the 4 to 6 week mark.”

Kade Kolodjashnij was a late withdrawal in the NEAFL with concussion symptoms and has no immediate return date set.

“He’ll be out for an indefinite period of time at the moment whilst we seek a few specialists’ opinions and following that we’ll come up with a management plan and hopefully see him back out on the training park pretty soon,” Rigby said.

Jesse Lonergan was another casualty on the weekend, sustaining a minor hamstring injury in the NEAFL.

“Unfortunately Jesse suffered a very low grade hamstring injury during the early parts of the NEAFL game of the weekend so this will see him miss likely one to two weeks of football,” Rigby said.

In positive news, Aaron Young has escaped serious injury on his right ankle and is a chance to play this week against the GWS Giants on Saturday, should he get through training this week.

“He had some scans as well and they’ve come back really positive for Aaron so he will go through his treatment and rehab for the early part of this week and then he will be a test later in the week and hopefully he’ll be ok for the weekend’s game.”
