News update: Collingwood updates multiple players after the summer break.

Collingwood football club, Collingwood, Football iconWhile additional premiership Pies are scheduled to work through modified programmes, two have had surgery.

One-to-four-year players returned to training this week, and Collingwood provided an update on the health of nine players’ injuries and training after the off-season.

In the off-season, vice captain Brayden Maynard had shoulder stabilisation surgery. Maynard will return to full training in February following a twelve-week recuperation break.

He underwent surgery on the other shoulder during the off-season of the previous year, making this his second shoulder procedure in the prior two years.

Jamie Elliott, a small forward, will be limited in his workouts before to the Christmas break. A modified contact-free regimen has been implemented to help him regain shoulder strength following minor surgery to mend ligaments.

It is anticipated that he will resume full training in January.

At the conclusion of the 2023 season, a number of issues sidelined captain Darcy Moore, rookie Nick Daicos, forward Dan McStay, and ruckman Darcy Cameron individually in the early part of the off-season.

All four players will be closely monitored throughout the December training block and should return to full training in January.

Veteran players Darcy Moore, Steele Sidebottom, and Scott Pendlebury are all completing customised individual pre-season programmes. Before going back to full training in January, the three will participate in restricted training sessions in December.

The five-year-plus players at Collingwood will resume training on Monday, December 4.

The Magpies will visit GWS in early March to kick up their 2024 campaign.
