April 27th 2009 05:58
ESSENDON ruckman David Hille will have a knee reconstruction on Thursday after scans confirmed he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
The Bombers have elected not to pursue the revolutionary surgery which Sydney's Nick Malceski had last year in a bid to speed up his recovery due to the damage surrounding Hille's torn ligaments.
Essendon football operations manager Paul Hamilton said the club is hopeful Hille will be fit for round one next year.
"We're expecting him to be out for the rest of the year, clearly. We'd love to think that he might be back for round one [2010], but generally it's a 12 month injury," Hamilton said.
