Adelaide Crows fans have been left STUNNED after star defender Mark Keane suffered a devastating leg injury in what insiders are calling one of the most shocking training incidents in recent memory.
The 25-year-old was involved in a marking contest during a high-intensity session when disaster struck. Witnesses say Keane’s leg bent awkwardly before he collapsed to the turf with medical staff rushing onto the field immediately.
Moments later, he was taken off in a medicab.
Surgery Done But Here’s The Real Blow…
Keane has since undergone successful surgery, but early reports suggest he could miss THREE TO FOUR MONTHS of action. That means the Crows could be without one of their most important defenders for a huge chunk of the season.
And make no mistake this is MASSIVE.
Keane was a cornerstone of Adelaide’s backline, widely regarded as their top intercept defender last season. His absence now leaves a huge question mark over the Crows’ defensive structure heading into a critical stretch of the campaign.
Can The Crows Cope Without Him?
Coach Matthew Nicks has backed his squad to step up but replacing Keane won’t be easy. The pressure now falls on Adelaide’s depth players to fill the void and keep finals hopes alive.
Fans are already asking:
Will this derail the Crows’ season before it even begins?
Who steps up in his absence?
Can Adelaide survive this early setback?
One thing is certain the Crows’ road just got a whole lot tougher.
