Zach Merrett Will Spend Two Weeks In A Moon Boot

Essendon star Zach Merrett will spend the next two weeks in a moon boot after injuring himself at training.

Merrett suffered an ankle sprain in his left foot during a drill.

“Unfortunately, Zach suffered the injury during a competitive training drill,” Bombers football boss Dan Richardson said.

“(Zach’s ankle) was scanned immediately, and subsequently he will be required to wear a moon boot for approximately two weeks.

“We expect a clearer picture on his return to training once swelling in the affected ankle subsides over the next week.

“At this point, we don’t anticipate the injury will impact Zach’s availability for the commencement of the season.”
