Mummy out for four weeks with elbow injury
Jan 30, 2017 - 12:58 AM Greater Western Sydney star Shane Mumford will spend a month of the AFL pre-season on the sidelines after undergoing elbow surgery.The Giants ruckman had floating bone in his right elbow removed on Friday.
The club expects the 30-year-old to recover for the latter stages of the pre-season competition.
"The surgery was a success and we don't expect Shane to have any ongoing issues," Giants head of performance David Joyce said.
"Shane has had a really good pre-season to date and has hardly missed a beat.
"We're confident this shouldn't affect his preparation for the premiership season."
The 197cm Mumford was one of the club's best players as they fell one game short of the grand final in 2016, playing 23 games.
GWS begin their AFL season away to Adelaide on March 26.
