Midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen has been placed on the Club’s long-term injury list.

Ellis-Yolmen, 24, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his right knee in Adelaide’s opening JLT Community Series clash with Richmond last month.

The injury is expected to sideline the big-bodied onballer for the entire season.

Ellis-Yolmen has played 14 AFL games since being recruited by the Club with pick No.64 in the 2011 National Draft.

Players placed on the long-term injury list are ineligible for senior selection for a minimum period of eight weeks. The Club is permitted to upgrade a rookie to the senior roster as a replacement.

The Club has not nominated a player for promotion to the senior squad at this stage.

Adelaide’s current rookie-listed players are Jonathon Beech, Hugh Greenwood, Paul Hunter, Alex Keath and Ben Jarman.
