PORT ADELAIDE ruck Ivan Soldo had surgery in Brisbane yesterday after aggravating a little finger injury on his left hand at training.

Port Adelaide Head of Medical Services Tim O’Leary said Soldo is expected to make a quick recovery.

“Ivan will rejoin the team on the Gold Coast tomorrow after successful surgery on the little finger on his left hand,” O’Leary said.

“His running obviously won’t be impacted and we expect him to return to full training with the group in late January.”

Soldo was traded to Port Adelaide in October after 57 games with Richmond.
