Superstar Jordan De Goey will be offside for 10 weeks, Collingwood showed on Thursday.
De Goey suffered a serious finger injury in the Feet’ big win over Geelong last week, and the club stated at the time that it needed surgery that would likely cause him to miss the rest of the normal season.
The magpies’ soccer chief Geoff Walsh has announced that the injury, which required surgery to repair a broken flexor tendon, can cause the 25-year-old to also lose more than the first two months reported, which probably pushes back his return to the October date in the middle. The latest AFL series.
A 10-week retracement date would cause De Goey to return in the first week of October, just two weeks before the AFL grand final, which is tentatively scheduled for October 17 in Melbourne, reportedly.
“He had it the day after the game,” Walsh said.

“He was discharged from the hospital the same day here in Perth. It’s a pretty serious injury, tendon, flexor tendon. We’ll have to wait a few months before Jordy gets back into action. It seemed quite harmless, but those are serious tendon injuries, so it will be a while before, unfortunately, I see him again.
Collingwood Football Club clarified Walsh’s comments when the club posted on Twitter that De Goey could miss 10 full weeks.

“Jordan will be operated on this weekend and will remain with the team while he recovers. We will have a greater concept of the expected return date after your operation.”
Mark Stevens of Channel 7 first posted on Twitter last week that De Goey can miss up to 8 weeks.
As the AFL attempts to regroup the last 10 games of the season over an eight-week period, the most likely best-case situation of De Goey returns in the first week of the last week.
