West Coast co-captain Oscar Allen will officially miss the rest of the AFL season after opting to undergo knee surgery while recovering from his calf/Achilles injury.
Allen damaged his calf and Achilles during last week’s 34-point loss to Carlton, with the Eagles initially holding out a slither of hope he could still return this year.
But that is now officially dead in the water after West Coast revealed Allen underwent patella tendon surgery on Thursday to fix an ongoing issue with his left knee.
“Oscar has been dealing with some knee soreness related to his patella tendon,” West Coast football manager Gavin Bell said.
“After we gathered more information that he was unlikely to return this season due to his calf/Achilles injury, the decision was made by Oscar and the club for him to undergo surgery today.”
