Maddy Brancatisano will be unavailable for a number of weeks after having surgery following an ankle injury sustained in match simulation against the Brisbane Lions.

“After consulting with specialists, Maddy made the decision to have an operation to repair a syndesmosis injury suffered in the match against the Brisbane Lions. As a result, she’ll be unavailable for selection in the early rounds of the season,” GC SUNS AFLW physiotherapist Jasmine Herlihy said.

Meara Girvan will also be sidelined for the opening rounds of the season following a shoulder injury in the same game.

“Meara suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Lions. She’s now completing her rehab program and will miss the first few matches of our season,” Herlihy added.

Vivien Saad is continuing to progress in her rehabilitation from a hamstring injury picked up during pre-season and is targeting to be available for selection in Round 2.

Small forward Ashanti Bush will also be sidelined indefinitely as she recovers from concussion.
