Hawthorn has confirmed that ruckman Jonathon Ceglar has a torn anterior cruciate ligament, following last night's loss to West Coast in Perth.

Ceglar went off the ground in the third quarter after landing awkwardly in a marking contest and will miss the rest of the season.

โ€œJonโ€™s been an important player for us and has really stepped up in the absence of David Hale this season,โ€ general manager of football operation Chris Fagan told the club's website.

โ€œItโ€™s very disappointing for Jon, particularly so close to finals. Heโ€™s a resilient bloke and I have no doubt he will be determined to attack his rehab and get back to footy as soon as he can.

โ€œWhilst Jon plays an important role in the side we are confident others will take their opportunities and step up to cover his absence.โ€
