February 23rd 2010 01:58
ADELAIDE sharpshooter Chris Knights will be sidelined for six weeks after scans confirmed he has a stress fracture in his left foot.
The 23-year-old was initially diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, forcing him to wear a moon boot to protect his foot.
"Late last week Chris was aware of pain and swelling further down the foot towards the toes. An investigation on the weekend revealed a stress fracture," club doctor Andrew Potter told afc.com.au.
"Chris will continue to have treatment for both plantar fasciitis and the stress fracture."
The injury to Knights comes after pre-season injuries to promising young defender Andy Otten, veteran forward Brett Burton and midfielder Nathan van Berlo.
Burton recently underwent knee surgery, van Berlo has a stress fracture in his back while Otten will miss all of the 2010 season after rupturing his ACL.
In some good news for the Crows, Nathan Bock, Kurt Tippett and Scott Thompson are expected to play in Friday night's NAB Challenge match against Collingwood in Alice Springs.
