Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar is likely to be sidelined until late August due to hamstring injuries he suffered in the final quarter of Sunday’s match against Carlton at the MCG.
After a consultation with a specialist today, it was confirmed that Treloar hurt both hamstrings in an awkward tumble; he has tendon damage to the hamstring in his left leg and a strain of the hamstring in his right.
Surgery to repair the tendon injury is required and is expected to occur before the end of the week.
The stop to Treloar’s season is the result of what Collingwood's General Manager of Football, Geoff Walsh, has described as a freakish occurrence. Treloar was nudged as he sought to sprint by Carlton’s Lochie O’Brien along the member’s wing boundary.
“Adam stumbled, his left leg locked and before he tumbled to the ground his left leg stretched beyond its limit. It seems that he strained his right leg on the way down as he tried to compensate for the force pushing his through his left,” Walsh explained.
“It is certainly highly unusual, to injure both hamstrings at once. No-one can recall it happening before in football.
“Still, Adam is a fantastic professional and we have no doubt that he will commit himself to the most thorough recovery possible.
“As to what the immediate future holds, we’ll know more after the surgery and his rehabilitation begins.”
Treloar has been a remarkably durable player through his career. He has played no less than 18 matches in any of his six completed seasons and all 13 thus far in 2018.
He has played 134 of a possible 144 matches since 2012 and 56 of a possible 57 for Collingwood, after crossing to the Holden Centre from Greater Western Sydney at the end of the 2015 season
Back for finals where we will need him.
I am shattered for him levendi.
Only a miracle will get him back for finals...…..love your optimism.
The fact they haven't said his season is done is encouraging.
Hopefully it's just the 8 weeks and he's back for Round 23/Week 1 of finals (if the footy gods allow us to participate in September)
I unhappy too. But being the consummate professional he is, I’m sure he’ll be back fully ready to go. Also, due to his mentioned meticulous preparation habits I wouldn’t even discount him recovering and being available a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.
Late August is better than 2019. He will be the ace up our sleeve come finals.
This may even be a blessing in disguise and now we will have to figure out an equally potent set up - look for degoey to go to a completely new level.

I agree. If he has to have surgery then I cant see him getting back this year.The problem is this morning I did Doctor Google on hamstrings and everything I read wasn't good.
I usually am glass half full but seriously I am over the "bad luck" we have had with injuries...…..two f kn hamstrings at once FFS!
How is one thing dependent on the other?I wouldn’t jeopardise his career trying to get him back this season.
