Francou struck down again

Josh Francou’s 2004 comeback has ended before it began after injuring his knee at training on Wednesday morning. The club confirmed the 2002 Brownlow Medal runner-up has again torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Francou missed all but the first two games of the 2003 season when he twisted his knee in a tackle with Lions captain Michael Voss on April 5.
Since then the All Australian endured many setbacks including deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) but things had been looking up for Francou since being able to run without discomfort in December. He was aiming to be part of some of the Power’s pre-season and then join the team in Round 1.
The club will hold a media conference to discuss the injury later on Monday. More updates then.
