Liam Henry faces a setback as scans have confirmed a high-grade left hamstring strain, which is expected to keep him out of action for about six to eight weeks. Despite his strong performance in St Kilda’s recent victory over Collingwood, Henry had to exit the game early due to what was initially suspected to be severe cramping. However, further evaluation revealed the more serious hamstring injury.
This news adds to St Kilda’s injury concerns, with Mason Wood also sidelined for a similar duration due to concussion and collarbone issues sustained early in a previous match. David Misson, the EGM of Football, expressed disappointment at Henry’s injury, noting his impressive start at the club and emphasizing the unexpected severity of the setback.
The condensed schedule early in the season poses challenges for recovery, but Misson expressed confidence in Henry’s determination to return swiftly, highlighting his commitment to rehabilitation.
