Saints recruit Liam Henry has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season after injuring his knee in Saturday's win against West Coast.
The 22-year-old left the track during the third quarter of St Kilda's big win over West Coast at Marvel Stadium, hobbling and struggling to apply any pressure on his injured leg.
“Scans today have shown Liam has significant cartilage damage to his knee,” EGM Football David Misson said.
“This will require surgery and unfortunately see Liam miss the remainder of the season.
“Liam has had a rough run with injuries this year which has been disappointing, but we've also been able to see the impact he can have when he is up and running, so we're confident that after this period of rehab we'll see Liam back to his best in 2025.”
The unfortunate news for Henry comes as a frustrating season in new colours has plagued his 2024.
