Adelaide defender Daniel Talia will undergo surgery on his left knee.

Crows High Performance General Manager Matt Hass said at this stage it was expected Talia would be back running early in the new year.

“He’s aggravated an old injury in an innocuous incident at home.” Hass said.

“The procedure will interrupt Daniel’s preseason and the Club will provide an update on the timeframes around his rehabilitation once the surgery has been completed.”
