AFL Player #15: Jayden Laverde

[Yoda_]

Today showed that he won't ever be a finals/top 4 teams third tall. Johnson ran rings around him before bing subbed out with what sounds like a shoulder injury.

Disappointing but that's what happens.

for a number of weeks after sustaining a shoulder injury.

The 26-year-old suffered an AC joint injury in the Dons’ Anzac Day clash with Collingwood on Tuesday and was subbed off as a result.

General Manager of Performance Daniel McPherson said Laverde underwent surgery on Thursday and is expected to return just prior to the mid-season bye.


“Jayden sustained an AC joint injury against Collingwood and was subsequently subbed out of the game,” McPherson said.

“He’s undergone surgery to repair the joint and we’re looking at a five-to-six-week timeframe for him to return to playing.”

will look to prove his fitness for Friday night’s clash with the Western Bulldogs.

The 27-year-old suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to Geelong and was subsequently subbed out.

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson said Laverde will be given every opportunity to take his place in the best 22.

“Jayden went down with an ankle injury and with a short turnaround to this game, the decision was made to sub him out of the game last Saturday night,” McPherson said.

“He’s pulled up reasonably well and has been on light duties since the weekend, so hopefully he’ll get up for the Bulldogs game. We’ll know more later in the week."

Had surgery on an uncomfortable wrist, no ETA yet

Defender Jayden Laverde also underwent wrist surgery recently which was to combat some ongoing pain that had been surfacing after doing weights at the conclusion of Essendon's year.

"He got that done a couple of weeks ago. He'll obviously be able to do a heap of running and then his return date to full training is not known just yet but he'll be back running pretty quickly," McPherson said. "It was more a discomfort thing than a significant injury."
