Hawthorn continues to limit the return of its star player “Wizard” after he suffers a complicated neck injury. Multiple reports say the club has ruled him out for at least another week, reflecting a cautious approach to his recovery. The injury is described as “complicated,” and the club is reportedly not rushing his return despite ongoing speculation about his availability.
While the outlets align on the decision to keep him out for another week, they do not provide further medical detail beyond describing the condition as complex and the club’s conservative management of his fitness. As a result, his next match availability remains uncertain and dependent on continued assessment. The reports also note that the situation could jeopardize his season, given the time frame involved in recovery and the club’s stated preference for ensuring he is ready before resuming training and match play. The current update keeps his status on hold and adds another week to the period he will miss.
