The Brisbane Lions confirm defender Darragh Joyce will miss Saturday’s QClash with the Gold Coast SUNS due to a fractured jaw.
Joyce, who reported jaw soreness following Sunday’s Round 19 win against the Sydney Swans, was sent for scans which revealed the fracture.
Further assessment and consultation are required before the club can advise of a timeframe for Joyce’s return.
The Lions also confirm Co-Captain Harris Andrews and Carter Michael have both entered concussion protocols and will not be available to play this weekend.
In better news for the club, defender Jack Payne is showing positive progress as he recovers from a foot injury and is on track for a return next month.
