Howe

Collingwood star Jeremy Howe faces the prospect of months on the sidelines and a fancy restoration from two broken ligaments after struggling a severe damage in Friday evening’s AFL conflict.

Howe’s proper knee twisted in horrible style when he clashed with a diving Jacob Hopper at Giants Stadium, souring the Magpies’ two-point loss.

GWS defender Phil Davis described the incident as “sickening” and he wasn’t alone.

Teammates and opponents each instantly known as for help because it turned clear that one thing had gone horribly unsuitable.

Magpies coach Nathan Buckley urged the in-form defender, who had prolonged his vivid begin to the 12 months and was threatening to pull his workforce to victory on Friday, had doubtless broken his medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).

“We can’t see him for some time,” Buckley stated.

“His knee hasn’t come out of it that effectively.

“He is shattered. These guys have been sitting on their heels for fairly some time (through the COVID-19 lockdown), we have all been taken away from doing the issues we love in some form or kind.

“Howey loves his footy.”

Howe was arguably finest on floor earlier than the setback.

“We must cowl and we’ll,” Buckley stated.

“He is an ideal chief, nice participant.”

GWS coach Leon Cameron, who was teaching on the boundary line, instantly knew one thing was critically unsuitable.

“He is a famous person participant. He gave us grief all evening,” Cameron stated.

“You’re feeling for these type of accidents.”
