ESSENDON ruckman David Hille will miss the start of the NAB Cup after being stung by a stingray at St Kilda beach on Sunday.
Hille, who was wading in the shallows around dusk when the stingray struck, required an overnight stay in hospital and surgery to remove the barb.
Essendon football manager Paul Hamilton said Hille had recovered well and was expected to resume training this week..
“He went to hospital and had a minor operation where they removed the barb from his leg,” Hamilton said.
“He was in a lot of pain and was kept overnight for observation but, since then, he has recovered well.
"We expect him to get back into some form of training on Friday and we will monitor him and build up his program over the following week.
“The good news is that we don’t expect this to have any real impact on David's preparation for the AFL season.”
