CARLTON utility Alex Cincotta will undergo surgery next week to correct a hip issue.
The 27-year-old has been unable to train over the last week due to the injury, with further specialist consultation this week confirming surgery would be required.
Cincotta is expected to be sidelined for the next four to five months, with the aim to be available to play early in the season.
In regards to the Club’s existing rehab group, Charlie Curnow, Blake Acres (back), Corey Durdin (shoulder), Matthew Cottrell (shoulder), Jack Silvagni (knee) and Matt Duffy (knee) are all on track to integrate back into training during January, as part of their individual preparations for the start of the season.
Curnow will remain in Melbourne next week during the Club’s pre-season camp on the Sunshine Coast, after confirmation a small clean-up of his knee would be required.
The Club has made the proactive decision to complete the minor procedure early next week, to ensure Curnow’s availability for the start of the season will not be impacted.
