HAWTHORN ruckman Brent Renouf has required skin grafts for burns sustained in an accident at a Queensland beach.
The 21-year-old was accidently knocked into a bonfire burning at Broadbeach by a group of young men who began wrestling close to where Renouf was standing.
Renouf immediately cooled the burns in the ocean before being transported to Broadbeach hospital.
The Hawks said in a statement that there was no police involvement at the scene and the hospital admissions report stated that alcohol was not a factor in the incident.
Hawthorn football operations manager Mark Evans said Renouf was receiving the best care possible.
"Brent is in a good condition and is receiving quality medical attention", Evans said.
"The burns are localised to three areas and the burns are approximately the size of a hand in each area."
"The burn on Brent's forearm has required a skin graft with two small parts, each the size of a 20 cent coin."
"The burns to his lower back and leg appear to be minor."
"Brent is progressing well, is in good spirits and will return to pre-season training next week."
