Injury Sidelines Star Hawks Player During Intense ‘Baz Ball’ Drill
Hawthorn Football Club is facing a potential setback as star midfielder Will Day has sustained a serious injury scare. Day exited a training session prematurely on Thursday morning, prompting immediate concerns about his condition.
Injury Details
During the training at the Dingley venue, Day was seen using his training jumper to stabilize his right shoulder. He was escorted off the field by two club officials, indicating the seriousness of his injury.
The club plans to release an update on Day’s health status shortly. For now, assessments are ongoing to determine the extent of the injury.
Training Context
Prior to the incident, Will Day had been performing notably well during training drills. He moved with confidence before players participated in a ‘Baz ball’ drill. This exercise involves a keepings-off style game where tackling is permissible. It’s believed that Day may have injured himself during this specific drill.
Previous Performance and Injuries
Will has recently returned to regular training after being on a modified program. His exceptional performance in earlier sessions had been encouraging for the Hawks’ supporters. Last season, however, Day was limited to just six matches due to two significant bone stress injuries in his right foot.
Upcoming Updates and Implications
- The Hawks are expected to provide further information regarding Day’s injury soon.
- Fans are hopeful for a quick recovery, especially given his past struggles with injuries.
The situation remains critical for Hawthorn as they evaluate the impact of this injury on their season. The team’s focus will now be on ensuring Day’s health for future competitions.
