Collingwood forward Dan McStay is likely to miss the 2024 AFL season after scans today confirmed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.

McStay sustained the injury during today’s training session.

The 28-year-old had only returned to pre-training this week following a medial collateral ligament strain in his right knee.

Executive General Manager of Football Graham Wright empathised with McStay.

"This is unfortunate news for Dan who is likely to miss the 2024 season,” Wright said.

“Dan sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during today’s training session. He had returned to training this week after recovering from a medial ligament injury sustained in our Preliminary Final last season.

“We are all extremely disappointed for Dan, and our entire Club will rally around him during this difficult time and throughout his rehab journey.”

The Club will provide a further update in due course.
