Vezpremi's injury setback

I imagine this will send a few back to the drawing board...

On the eve of the 2009 season, Sydney Swans forward Patrick Veszpremi requires finger surgery that will sideline him for approximately eight weeks.

Veszpremi ruptured his finger flexor tendon in the Sydney Swans game against Adelaide last Friday night at AAMI Stadium. Surgery was required with his long term future in mind and he will be operated on early next week.

Veszpremi is expected to be able to participate in running activities ten days post surgery. “It is obviously unfortunate timing for Pat to have sustained this injury but we want him to get in and get the surgery done,” Coaching Co-ordinator John Longmire said.

“Pat showed some promise last year at senior level and whilst this is a minor set back for him, he will be able to continue to work on his pre-season fitness base quite quickly after the surgery and come back into main training group ready to go.
