Scans today on Joe Daniher’s left shoulder confirmed a soft tissue injury that will require 4-6 weeks of rehabilitation.

Brisbane Lions GM Football Danny Daly said it was a relatively good outcome and that Joe would be back in a few weeks’ time without requiring surgery.


“The outcome today is a fairly good one with Joe not requiring surgery on the shoulder and we can just focus on rehabilitating and getting strength back into it.

“While it is disappointing for Joe to miss a few games after stringing together so many consecutively, we’re confident we have the forward line depth to cover it whilst he focuses on getting back on the park.”


Jaxon Prior has also escaped serious injury after Sunday night’s clash with Sydney with further assessment confirming a cork to his right knee and that he’ll be available for selection for this weekend’s game against West Coast.
