There seems to be no end in sight for Collingwood’s rotten injury news and the club has just revealed that star midfielder Tom Mitchell has undergone surgery. Mitchell, 31, hasn’t been seen since Round 7 and is now going to miss at the least the next 6-8 weeks. In statement, the club has revealed that Mitchell has had a minor procedure on the plantar fascia in his left foot. It’s another major blow for Collingwood who are already dealing with a long and crippling injury list.

Will Hoskin-Elliott and young key forward Reef McInnes have also been sidelined but could return against Melbourne for the King’s Birthday game. “Tom has undergone a minor procedure to address the plantar fasciitis he has been managing,” Collingwood’s high performance boss Jarrod Wade said. “Following further consultation, surgery was the best option to help Tom regain full function in his foot.
