Sam Sturt#1

ACL reconstruction after arthroscopic procedure revealed ACL no longer stable. Return targeted as early as practicable in 2026 season. SETBACK (May 2026): sustained quad strain during training while progressing ACL rehab. Scans required; return timeline reassessed.

Quad strain sustained during ACL rehabilitation session. Secondary injury during rehab — does not reset ACL timeline but may cause short-term delay.

His ACL recovery is still tracking well. However, Sturt recently sustained a quad strain during training, necessitating scans with a return timeline to be reassessed.

Batch severity enhancement: season-ending / LTI injury with ACL or structural fracture OSIICS code.

around six to seven weeks

Return now expected 3 July

Sam is back into football training now and he should be 4-5 weeks away from a return

Suffered another strain to the quad he originally injured during his ACL rehab - a setback, with return timelines to be re-established (Fremantle Round 17 injury update).

stale 3 July forecast moved to a 2-3 week horizon. Note: the quad appears to be a distinct setback during his ACL-reconstruction comeback; episode modelling is pending an operator decision (one-ACTIVE guard blocks a second row). Sam Sturt | Quad | TBA

Return revised: 3 July → 25 July

ACL reconstruction (2025-09-15), post-surgical recovery year — converting from ACTIVE to REHAB to correctly model the ongoing rehab status and free the one-ACTIVE-per-player slot for the distinct quad strain sustained during rehab training. Diagnosis unchanged (KTCL).

Diagnosis unchanged (KTCL). His ACL recovery is still tracking well.

Fremantle now lists the quad setback at one week, so the earliest return is Round 22.

Return revised: 25 July → 8 Aug

Repeat hamstring injury at main training — now assessed as high-grade. The club is seeking outside specialist input on the timeline.

Still on the club injury list with no timeline after a full season out following the knee reconstruction, so the next realistic return is the 2027 season. Sam Sturt (Hamstring): TBA.

Return revised: 8 Aug → 1 Mar

Fremantle now list him with a hamstring rather than the knee, an added complication during the reconstruction rehab. He has not played a senior game in 2026.
