North Melbourne ruckman Majak Daw has received positive news on his knee injury following arthroscopic surgery last week.
Daw experienced discomfort in his knee after trainingย last Monday, with scans revealing a tear in his meniscus.
He was initially expected to miss around two months, however, the club has revealed Daw could return to full training in as little as four weeks.
โIt scanned a little bit worse than we actually found out it was, so weโre looking at a time frame for Maj of sort of returning to full training in around four weeks so weโre really happy with the outcome,โ senior performance consultant Steve Saunders told the club's website.
โHe was doing a straight line running session last week, [he] hadย onset of some knee symptoms and heโs had an arthroscope last week just to tidy up a small medial meniscus tear.
โItโs a pretty minor procedure so thereโs a little bit of recovery time around that. Most of the time is around making sure that his muscular system is back up to scratch and heโs ready for the loading associated so thatโs why weโre sort of talking four weeks rather than two or three.
โMaj will get adequate game-time leading into Round 1.โ
