CibbuanoCornes in doubt with knee
June 10th 2008 01:24
PORT ADELAIDE star Chad Cornes is in doubt for Sunday's clash against Geelong at Skilled Stadium due to an ongoing knee injury.
Cornes, who recently had surgery on a badly fractured finger, is also enduring a flare-up of a knee cartilage problem.
Williams said the 28-year-old had tried to manage the knee after delaying surgery since 2005, and that he may need to undergo surgery if the injury doesn't improve.
"He's probably had it for three years," Williams said. "It comes and goes and he gets over it and it slips in and out."
"He's got a sore finger and people understand that, but the things you don't know about the players, it's a great credit to them . . .
"It (the knee) could come good this week or it might be that he needs four or five weeks off with surgery.
"(Surgery) is more possible than remote."
Meanwhile, Paul Stewart, who was crunched by Carlton's Jordan Russell during Sunday night's clash at AAMI Stadium, is a chance to play against the Cats after X-rays and CT scans cleared him of serious injury.
