Essendon forward Patrick Ambrose will miss the next 1-2 weeks after undergoing surgery to mend a minor fracture in his jaw.
Ambrose, 22, sustained the injury during Friday night’s loss to Sydney at the SCG.
Club doctor Bruce Reid said Ambrose’s surgery was a success.
“Paddy had scans yesterday and they revealed he had an undisplaced fracture in his jaw,” Reid said.
“He underwent surgery this morning, it was a straight forward procedure and I would expect Paddy to miss between 1-2 weeks.”
The club will provide a full injury update at essendonfc.com.au on Tuesday afternoon.
