Ankle Injury (General)(AKXX)

Timeline

1. 14 Aug

   Occurred

   Foot injury — described as an ankle problem when first listed, but Fremantle's own injury list and the AFL Medical Room have both carried it as a foot injury since early September. Held as a week-to-week test; he played a Peel Thunder reserves final but did not finish the game. No mechanism or onset date given by the club. Coded to the general Ankle/Foot classification because no source specifies the structure.
