Following consultation with the club’s medical team, Essendon forward Joe Daniher will undergo surgery on his fractured clavicle tomorrow.

Club doctor Bruce Reid said the surgery will shorten Daniher’s time on the sidelines.

“Joe will have a plate and screws inserted to strengthen his clavicle,” Reid said.

“It’s not invasive surgery and the positive news is it will shorten Joe’s recovery period. I would say Joe could be back within three weeks.”
