ADELAIDE has suffered a major blow with promising young defender Andy Otten ruled out for all of next season with a serious knee injury.
The 20-year-old hurt his left knee at training on Thursday morning. A visit to the specialist confirmed he had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament.
Crows' head doctor Andrew Potter said Otten would have a 'normal' reconstruction, which would be followed by a 12-month rehabilitation.
Taken with pick 27 in the 2007 national draft, Otten played every game this year after making his AFL debut in 2008.
He was the runner-up in this year's NAB Rising Star award and won Adelaide's Emerging Talent award.
