Scans this morning on Daniel Bradshaw’s right knee have confirmed that he has a partial tear of his Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

He will undergo an arthroscope on Tuesday next week to determine whether he will require a full knee reconstruction.

Bradshaw suffered the injury in the early stages of the Lions’ reserves practice match against Morningside at Coorparoo last night. He had kicked the team's opening two goals before leaving the field with knee soreness.

It was Bradshaw's first official match for the season having been sidelined for the entire NAB Cup with a hamstring complaint.
