ESSENDON utility Andrew Welsh is set to be sidelined for up to four months after undergoing surgery on the leg injuries he suffered in Friday's intra-club match.
The 25-year-old broke the fibula bone in his right leg and dislocated his right ankle during the third quarter of Essendon's intra-club match at Whitten Oval.
Essendon football operations manager Paul Hamilton said the operation was a success and that Welsh was in good spirits.
"Last night the doctors pinned the bone in his leg and also put his ankle back in place," Hamilton said.
"They are happy with the result of the operation but we still expect Andrew to miss three to four months of football."
"Andrew is in very good spirits and has been sending humorous text messages to his team-mates this morning."
"Obviously he will be on crutches for a while but he is already very excited about getting back to the club and having some input. The main thing for him to focus on now is rest."
