SCANS have shown on Saturday afternoon that Melbourne Captain Max Gawn has suffered a Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprain.

Gawn sustained the injury to his left knee during Melbourne’s Round 2 clash with the Brisbane Lions on Friday night.

“Max had scans which show a moderate-grade medial ligament injury and at this stage, we expect him to be available in four to six weeks,” General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson told Melbourne Media.

“Max has seen a knee specialist and is working with our medical and high-performance team to determine the best return to play rehabilitation program.”
