Melbourne confirms that Max Gawn sustained a low-grade hamstring injury in Friday’s training session at Casey Fields.

The Demons’ Head of Medical Dr Laura Lallenec provided an update on the ruckman.

“Max was closely monitored over the weekend, and we were really pleased with how his hamstring settled,” she told Melbourne Media. 

“He has now commenced a modified program, with the view to reintegrate him into training over the next fortnight.

“Given the relatively short period of time that Max will miss, we are confident this won’t impact his preparation for the start of the season.”
