Collingwood ruck Oscar Steene has suffered an ACL injury, with scans revealing the extent of the knee injury he picked up during Friday night's clash against Sydney.
Steene's left knee buckled during a contest in the third quarter, leaving him clutching his knee in pain. He was subsequently helped from the field and did not return to the game.
The club confirmed the diagnosis on Saturday, stating that Steene will undergo surgery and begin a lengthy rehabilitation process. The injury is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season.
Steene, 22, has played 15 games for Collingwood since his debut in 2023. The club has not yet announced a replacement for the remainder of the season.
