PORT ADELAIDE captain Janelle Cuthbertson will miss the remainder of the AFLW season after confirmation she has ruptured the ACL in her left knee.

Cuthbertson came from the field after suffering the injury in a marking contest early in the third quarter of Friday night’s win over the Western Bulldogs.

The 34-year-old had scans on Saturday which confirmed she had also suffered a partial MCL tear.

“It’s incredibly tough news to take for Janelle and the whole football club,” said Port Adelaide Head of AFLW Shane Grimm.

“Janelle is a very resilient person who is always determined to get the most out of herself and her teammates. I have no doubt she will approach her rehabilitation with her usual professionalism and dedication, and that she will continue to be a strong leader around our playing group.”
