Fremantle midfielder Hayden Young has been ruled out of Saturday’s Round 2 clash against Melbourne with a hamstring strain.

“Hayden reported some awareness against Geelong, but he remained functional and was able to play out the game,” said Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty.

“With ongoing awareness early in the week, he was sent to scans which have revealed a hamstring strain.

“While the strain is low-grade, given Hayden’s history, we will gather all the information and assess him functionally over the next week before setting his return to play timeline.”
