Midfielder Aaron Hall will miss Gold Coast’s Season Opener in Cairns.

Hall suffered a finger injury in the JLT2 game against Brisbane Lions on Sunday, but it wasn’t until earlier in the week the pain was evident.

General Manager – Football Operations, Jon Haines, confirmed the injury with goldcoastfc.com.au on Friday.  

“Aaron Hall presented with some pain after the game on Sunday, we had that assessed by our medical team to consider some options,” he said. 

“The preferred option was to have some fairly simple surgery”

“Aaron will miss Round 1, but be available for Round 2.”
