Hamstrung Hawks recruit to miss multiple weeks

2020-07-12T11:24+10:00

Hawthorn recruit Jonathon Patton will miss up to four weeks with a right hamstring injury.

Patton was visibly upset after sustaining the injury early in Friday night’s loss to Collingwood.

"Obviously this news is really disappointing for Jon and the club," Hawks GM of Football Graham Wright told hawthornfc.com.au.

"His frustration and emotion was evident on Friday night so you can see how much this means to him.

"The positive news is that we should see Jon back on the park in a month and he'll undertake his recovery with the support of the club, as we continue in the hub environment.

"We're confident that he will do all the right things in his recovery to ensure we see him back out there as soon as possible."

Patton, 27, was sidelined for two matches prior to Round 6 due to an infected burn on his foot while cooking.
