Geelong defender Jack Henry has undergone surgery on a partial foot fracture, reports Channel 7’s Mitch Cleary.
Henry, who finished runner-up in the Cats’ best and fairest last year, will reportedly be sidelined for up to six weeks.
The 23-year-old has become an important cog in Geelong’s defence following a breakout 2021 season.
“The key defender was on light duties pre-Christmas, but fresh assessment revealed a partial foot fracture that will keep him off running for up to six weeks,” Cleary told 7 News on Wednesday night.
Henry made his AFL debut in 2018 and has gone on to play 90 games for the Cats. He signed a three-year contract extension last April.
Geelong takes on Gold Coast in the AAMI Community Series on March 7, before meeting Essendon in Round 1 on March 19.
