Swans star 'shattered' after skipper's heartbreaking knee injury
After shouldering the burden of leading Sydney through the off-field scandal that has engulfed the club, a serious injury is set to rob Callum Mills of the chance to compete for a premiership.
Sydney Swans star Tom Papley expressed his devastation for captain Callum Mills following the midfielder's serious knee injury during the team's win over Brisbane on Saturday. Mills dropped to the ground in the first quarter after sustaining a non-contact injury, which is expected to reveal an ACL rupture upon scans. The injury will likely force Mills to miss out on the club's chase for an unlikely AFL premiership.
With a week off, Sydney will face a preliminary final against either Fremantle or Geelong at the SCG. Papley, a Sydney star, described Mills' injury as a heart-wrenching blow for the skipper, given his crucial role in leading the club through recent challenges.
