for treatment to a serious infection in the same elbow he had operated on before the AFL season. Nat Fyfe, captain of the Fremantle Dockers, has been hospitalised in Perth with a serious infection in his right elbow. The Brownlow Medallist was placed on an antibiotic drip to treat the affected joint, which underwent surgery during the pre-season. The 27-year-old has been ruled out of the Dockers' upcoming AFL match against the Sydney Swans at Optus Stadium, with no clear timeline for his return. The setback comes at a difficult time for Fremantle, which had slipped to 13th on the AFL ladder after four consecutive losses. Coach Ross Lyon recently defended Fyfe amid concerns that the star midfielder was being heavily targeted by opponents.
