\n Senior defender set for stint on sidelines.\n <\/p>\n
Essendon can confirm that defender Mason Redman suffered a meniscus tear to his left knee during Sunday\u2019s match against Port Adelaide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Redman underwent scans on Monday morning which confirmed the extent of the injury, with the senior leader now set for surgery in the coming days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
General Manager of Football Daniel McPherson said the Club has full confidence in Redman\u2019s resilience to bounce back from his injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst Mason\u2019s injury is unfortunate for both him and our team, as a member of our Player Leadership Group, he\u2019ll continue to be a strong presence around the playing group during his recovery,\u201d McPherson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a frustrating setback but ‘Red’ is as tough as they come, and we know he will attack his rehab with his usual professionalism and commitment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all look forward to seeing him back out there once he\u2019s fully recovered.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Club will provide further updates on Redman’s rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
