Collingwood have ruled out key forward Mason Cox for the rest of the season with an eye injury.
Cox suffered a tear of the retina in his left eye on Sunday's win over Gold Coast at the MCG and will require surgery.
LISTEN TO THE LATEST:
Collingwood GM of Football Geoff Walsh provided an update.
“Mason has been advised that after the surgery he will need a number of weeks rest which means that he will not play again this season,” Walsh said.
“You don’t take risks with situations like this. A second appointment with a specialist this morning confirmed that Mason suffered a tear to his retina that needs surgical repair.
“It is obviously a disappointment, especially for Mason, but importantly he is expected to make a complete recovery. We look forward to his return to the club.”
This follows the news that Dayne Beams has also been ruled out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
