Midfielder Adam Cooney is currently receiving treatment for an infection to his right knee.

Cooney was admitted to hospital yesterday to treat the infection and to receive intravenous administered antibiotics.

This treatment will continue for the remainder of the week. 

It is expected that Cooney will be back at training next week and he continues to be in contention for selection for Round 1.

The Club will continue to monitor Cooney’s progress over the coming week.

'We see this as a minor setback for Adam and we are looking forward to having him back at training next week,' General Manager of Football, James Fantasia said.
