Collingwood confirms Vice-Captain Taylor Adams experienced hamstring awareness at training earlier today and, as a result, will unfortunately be unavailable for selection in the 2023 Toyota AFL Grand Final to played at the MCG this Saturday.

Adams initially suffered a low-grade hamstring injury during a training session held on Friday, September 15.

General Manager of Football Graham Wright expressed the Club’s disappointment in the prognosis.

“Unfortunate news for Taylor Adams who experienced hamstring awareness during training today which will see him miss the Grand Final,” Wright said.

“Taylor is an ultimate professional and a true leader both on and off the field and we will wrap our arms around him and continue to support him this week.

“Taylor was incredibly eager to be out there with his teammates and left no stone unturned in his rehabilitation and recovery and we all share in his disappointment.”
