There is a glimmer of hope Tom Hawkins will be seen again in 2024.
Geelong’s weekly medical report has put a 6-8 week timeframe on Hawkins’ return from a foot injury suffered in last Friday night’s loss to Carlton at the MCG.
The Cats have labelled the injury as an “atypical mid foot joint and ligament injury to his left foot”.
”Tom has already been in the Club today and commenced his off-foot training,” football boss Andrew Mackie said.
”He’ll remain in a boot for the next couple of weeks before progressing based on clinical signs.
”Tom is in a positive and optimistic mindset and we are confident he will give himself the best chance to have an impact later in the season.”
Hawkins, who turns 36 next month, has kicked 15 goals from 12 games in 2024 for career totals of 796 goals from 359 games.
