Darcy Moore hospitalised with bone infection

Darcy Moore has been in hospital with a bone infection (osteomyelitis).

Collingwood revealed the news on Friday.

The star defender is now recovering at home but won’t return to training until next year.

“Our main priority is Darcy’s health and we will continue to support him as he recovers at home from the infection,” Collingwood footy boss Graham Wright said.

“We are grateful that this was picked up early by medical staff and as such, we are not expecting any long-term issues.”
