AFL.com.au understands the 30-year-old underwent a procedure to have floating cartilage removed from his troublesome right knee.

While the Hawks are adamant he will return to running in the new year, it places question marks over his immediate football future.

Birchall had the surgery before attending the Hawks' summer training camp in Mooloolaba

"It's been a frustrating 18 months, it's fair to say, but I'm feeling really good, the knee's in a good spot and I'm right to go for day one (of pre-season), so I'm looking forward to it," he said.

"I was close (to playing in the finals series), but then I had little interruptions as I was coming back, so I had a little hammy and a little bit of a groin (problem).

"If we had beaten Melbourne in that final, the plan was to play half a game in the twos that weekend, then try and get back for West Coast the week after, but it didn't eventuate."

I don't think they'll risk Daniher at all this year, definitely not early on. If he's 100% right he'll play, if his OP is any doubt, then they'll hold him until later in the season.

It'll be much like O'Meara with any knee related niggles, they won't risk it.

Bugger was hoping people would spend 2.4M on 3 players and ruin their seasons

Get better Tom. SC needs you.

HAWTHORN star Tom Mitchell has been rushed to hospital with a suspected broken leg.

Returning in the first session following the Christmas break, Mitchell sustained the injury in an innocuous incident during a training drill.

The club has confirmed to AFL.com.au an ambulance was called with Mitchell taken away from the club.

More to come
