PORT ADELAIDE midfielder Tom Rockliff has been hospitalised with deep vein thrombosis.

The 31-year-old, who is currently recovering from an MCL sprain in one knee and a procedure on the other after tearing the medial meniscus, was immediately sent for an ultrasound after presenting at the club on Monday and reporting the acute onset of calf pain.

The ultrasound confirmed the deep vein thrombosis and his condition will be monitored in hospital in the short term.
