CibbuanoMalceski to play against Bombers
May 16th 2008 08:05
SYDNEY defender Nick Malceski has passed a fitness test and will play against Essendon at ANZ Stadium on Sunday less than three months after undergoing radical knee surgery.
The 23-year-old has made a stunning recovery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during a pre-season match in February - an injury which normally sidelines AFL footballers for 12 months.
But Malceski has undergone a revolutionary approach involving the use of artificial fibre intertwined with the damaged ligament.
Swans coach Paul Roos said Malceski had ticked all the boxes and was right to play.
"He has done everything we wanted him to from a medical point of view, from the selection point of view he is in the 22 and will be playing on Sunday," Roos said.
"Pending of course that he pulls up OK tomorrow."
