This is not the news Eagles fans want to hear.
West Coast Eagle legend Andrew Embley believes Elliot Yeo might miss half the season, as he continues his recovery from a serious groin injury.
Yeo hasn't played since round 11 last year and is still in the rehab group at training.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Elliot Yeo doesn’t come back until the second half of the season." Embley told Triple MMM's Rush Hour WA.
“He’s barely got out of first gear. I think he is their most important midfielder because he is different to the others."
