PORT Adelaide has ruled forward Charlie Dixon out of Sunday’s clash with Greater Western Sydney at Adelaide Oval.
Dixon left the field during the final quarter of Saturday’s game after North Melbourne’s Robbie Tarrant landed on his left ankle in a marking contest.
High Performance Manager Darren Burgess says scans yesterday showed an injury to the upper part of the ankle.
“Because of the nature of the injury it’s difficult to say exactly when he’ll be back but we’ll rehabilitate him as quickly as possible without risking any further damage,” Burgess said.
“This is a new injury, a trauma injury, and fortunately has nothing to do with the ankle problems Charlie’s had in the past.”
