DEFENDER Jackson Trengove will be sidelined for up to a month after undergoing surgery last night to repair his damaged left ring finger.

Trengove initially dislocated the finger in the win over Gold Coast in Round 9, but was able to play on without further injury until Sunday’s game, when it was dislocated three times.

The reigning John Cahill Medallist, who missed Round 1 after dislocating a different finger in the final week of the NAB Cup, consulted a surgeon yesterday and underwent surgery last night.

The surgery will strengthen the joint in his finger, but will likely keep him out of action until Round 17 when the Power face the Demons in Darwin.

It’s another big injury blow for the club following the news Jay Schulz will miss a month with an abdominal injury and Hamish Hartlett will be sidelined with a hamstring injury.
