Fremantle's Murphy Reid to Miss Match Against Adelaide Due to Injury
Fremantle's young player Murphy Reid will be absent from the Dockers' Round 23 match against Adelaide at Optus Stadium on Friday night due to a groin injury.
The 20-year-old was unable to recover in time after sustaining the injury during a match against Melbourne last Saturday, where he was injured while tackling a player. Following the incident, Reid experienced significant discomfort.
In his place, Fremantle may consider including Chris Scerri, Jeremy Sharp, or Tobyn Murray in the lineup. Additionally, team captain Alex Pearce will return after being rested, prompting discussions on which player will be removed from the squad. Adelaide's forward trio poses a significant challenge for Fremantle's defense, as they aim for a top-four finish.
