Geelong defender Lachie Henderson remains in doubt for the clubs season opener against Melbourne on March 25 after details emerged surrounding the extent of his off-season knee surgery.
The former Blue has yet to begin running since undergoing a second arthroscopy which raises serious question marks over his availability for round one.
โLachie Henderson has not run since December 13, when he had another arthroscopy on left knee,โ Sam McClure said on SENโs Time On.
โHe has not been training for two monthsโฆand unless something miraculous happens heโs not going to be playing round one.โ
Geelong's backline remains somewhat thin after the retirements of Andrew Mackie and Tom Lonergan and while Harry Taylor will move back to the defensive end in 2018, Henderson has been a key pillar of Geelong's defence since his arrival in 2016.
