Brisbane will be sweating on the scans to young star Cameron Rayner who went down with a suspected ACL injury during the Lions' pre-season hit out against the Gold Coast Suns.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rayner was attempting to smother a handball during the second quarter when he landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed for his knee.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old former No.1 draft pick was reduced to tears as he struggled to get up off the turf, with the club's trainers forced to help him walk to the changerooms. <\/p>\n

Rayner will go for scans tomorrow where it's expected an ACL injury will be revealed.<\/p>\n

\"Cameron<\/p>\n

"He's distraught \u2026 I reckon he knows," Hawthorn legend Dermott Brereton told Fox Footy.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Lions great Alastair Lynch added: "He's a young star around the club.<\/p>\n

"They've been so happy with the way he's progressed through the pre-season.<\/p>\n

"The plan is, as we saw last week in the practice match and through the pre-season, big minutes in the midfield \u2013 and he's been doing extremely well.<\/p>\n

"Fingers crossed the assessment that'll be done shortly and the scans that'll no doubt be done tomorrow is a positive one."<\/p>\n
