Melbourne Demons ruckman Max Gawn has suffered a brutal injury blow after he fractured his larynx during a pre-season training session.
The Dee’s tall is expected to be sidelined for the next two weeks before he can return to training, but will be unable to participate in non-contact training for an additional four weeks after that point.
Gawn is understood to have sustained a blow to the neck during a training session this week, but according to the Dees’ performance manager, Selwyn Griffith is upbeat, despite the freak nature of the injury.
‘Max sustained a fractured larynx following a hit to the throat during training this week,’ Griffith said.
‘As part of his recovery, Max won’t be able to exercise for the next two weeks, followed by a period of non-contact training for an additional four weeks.
‘Despite the setback, Max is recovering well and remains in good spirits.’
