December 6th 2008 06:35
ST KILDA youngster Jarryd Allen is set to miss the majority of next season after undergoing further surgery on his hip.
The 20-year-old suffered the injury in the semi-final win over Collingwood and had already had surgery but further surgery was required.
Saints football manager Greg Hutchison said the club was unsure as to when Allen will be able to return.
"At this stage we can't tell when Jarryd will be able to return, but he will be sidelined for at least six months," Hutchison said.
"It's a disappointing blow for Jarryd and the Club which comes at a time when the list is almost completely healthy and looking forward to a strong pre-season."
