GWS Giants star Toby Greene will be sidelined for a month after suffering a shoulder injury on the weekend.<\/p>\n
The Giants revealed in a statement on Monday that their stand-in captain played in GWS's defeat to the Richmond Tigers with "a fracture to the greater tuberosity humerus", and confirmed Greene will be out for "around four weeks".<\/p>\n
"Toby's as tough as they come and played out the game with the fracture in his shoulder," Giants Head of Medical Cullan Ball said.<\/p>\n
"We had it scanned on Sunday which revealed the injury and we expect him to be sidelined for at least a month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Knowing Toby, he'll do everything right in his recovery and rehabilitation and he'll be back out on field as soon as possible."<\/p>\n
Greene is the latest addition to GWS's already growing injured list of 13 players that includes Phil Davis and captain Stephen Coniglio.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old is a massive loss for the Giants with 22 goals in nine games so far this season.<\/p>\n
