The Brisbane Lions can confirm that Harris Andrews suffered a severe concussion in Saturday night’s match against GWS, with an associated small bleed on his brain.

Andrews was admitted to hospital late Saturday night his after his condition worsened. After undergoing tests and scans, he was discharged and returned home Sunday evening.

Throughout this time the Lions Medical Staff have been in constant consultation with a neurosurgeon, who will re-assess Andrews in two weeks’ time.

The Club will follow standard protocols around concussion this week and will regularly monitor Andrews’ condition.

“Our discussions with the neurosurgeon have been encouraging as they expect Harris to make a full recovery,” General Manager of Football David Noble said.

“He will have a follow-up scan in two weeks’ time, when we will know more.”
