The Western Bulldogs have confirmed that Jordan Roughead will miss at least 8 weeks following a hamstring injury sustained on the weekend.

The ruckman underwent surgery last night after suffering the injury against Melbourne in the JLT Community Series.

“Jordan sustained a hamstring tendon injury to the area the tendon inserts on the back of his knee, during a ruck contest on the weekend and has subsequently undergone surgery,”  said the club's Head Physiotherapist Chris Bell.

“We expect he’ll resume full training in approximately eight weeks.”
