Scan have confirmed Fremantle midfielder Jaeger O’Meara has suffered multiple facial fractures following a contact incident at training this morning. 

Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty says it is very disappointing for Jaeger following his successful return to play over the last three weeks. 

“Unfortunately, this was one of those innocuous incidents at training and you feel for Jaeger who’s such a professional,” said Brierty. 

“He’s a popular and valued leader at Fremantle and we’ll put all the support he needs around him while he recovers. 

“Our medical team will now consult with the appropriate specialists to consider if surgery is necessary and we will then set the appropriate return to play timelines.”
