GARY Ablett's season appears over after he was subbed off after injuring his left knee against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.



The Gold Coast skipper was chasing the football near the boundary line in the first term when teammate Matt Shaw fell into his leg.

He limped from the ground and down into the Suns' room and was subbed out shortly after.



The Suns confirmed he injured his meniscus and will have scans on Monday to assess the damage.



Coach Rodney Eade said he expected the star to miss between three to four games, which would likely end his year.



"It looks like a meniscus, which is cartilage, it's on the medial side which is better news, so you would think those would be three to four weeks," Eade said.



"It's nothing major … but we'll have to wait for the scans on Monday and then we'll work it out from there.



"From our point of view there would be no pressure for him to play [this year], we'll just weigh it up at the time."

The champion midfielder was in significant pain and could barely put any weight through his left leg after the incident.



Shaw was tackling Adelaide's Sam Shaw when he rolled onto Ablett's left foot, anchoring it to the turf, the impact on Ablett's leg then forced it to bend inwards.
