Jay Neagle to have surgery on ankle

Tuesday, 2 October 2007
Promising, Jay Neagle, will have an operation next week to insert a screw in his ankle after a recurrence of a stress fracture.

The screw will take the load stress off the bone.

The 19 year old, who debuted in Round 22 this year against West Coast, will require eight weeks rehabilitation.

Essendon Chief Operating Officer, Travis Auld, said the Club is confident it will have a minimal impact on his pre-season.

"You would rather deal with these issues now than during the pre-season so he will have the operation as soon as possible and commence rehabilitation," Auld said.

Neagle is the son of Bomber legend Merv Neagle and was a father/son selection with pick 39.

hmm at least this means he'll play

If he can run again after 8 weeks, he wont miss that much of the preseason really. Better it happens now than leter on in the preseason, or even in the middle of the year.

You have to question the accuracy of this report when it starts with Promising Western Australian, Jay Neagle Young Jay is from Gippsland ...And I am pretty sure the club is aware of this ...

Someone needs to check their sources !

ye lets hope so.

Not good. Neagle seems to me to be the type that needs to put in the work. He still has puppy fat to lose.

 

[hayesy_27]

Jay is from traralgon in gippsland. so it is completely wrong that he is a western australian ha ha

If its a recurrance, they obviously aren't doing enough to fix the cause of the stress fractures.

If they're only treating his foot, surely he's only likely to keep injuring it again, and again!
