Roos AFL player undergoes shoulder surgery
Jan 30, 2017 - 10:50 PM North Melbourne forward Jed Anderson could miss the first weeks of the AFL season after undergoing shoulder surgery.The 22-year-old ruptured his AC joint last week and had surgery on Monday, the Kangaroos say.
"Jed was involved in a full-contact drill last Friday and was tackling when he injured his right shoulder," senior performance consultant Steve Saunders told the club's website.
"He had a reconstruction of his left shoulder before coming to North, and has injured the right AC joint."
The Kangaroos expected Anderson to resume full training within six weeks and said he should be available within the first weeks of the season, which begins in late March.
Anderson missed much of last year's campaign after injuring a hamstring in his opening game for the Kangaroos.
It was his first season at North Melbourne after starting his career at Hawthorn, where he played 10 games across three years.
