Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee will be sidelined for an extended period after sustaining a hamstring injury on Sunday.
Scans on Monday confirmed Rozee suffered a high-grade hamstring tendon rupture, which is likely to require surgery.
He also experienced significant numbness in his leg following the incident, caused by the forceful traction of the nerve.
A timeline for the 26-year-old’s return to football will become clearer following surgical consultation.
Miles Bergman has been ruled out of this weekend’s game with an ankle injury sustained during the final quarter of Sunday’s game.
Scans show the 24-year-old has a sprain to the medial ankle, along with bruising of the heel.
Bergman will be assessed further next week to determine his availability for Round 4.
