Gold Coast Suns star spearhead Ben King suffered a knee injury last week and will need to undergo a fitness test sometime this week to determine his availability for the upcoming match against the Fremantle Dockers this weekend. Gold Coast’s footy boss Wayne Campbell spoke about his recovery, ensuring that all decisions made would be in King’s best interest.
King’s fitness tests are reportedly scheduled for Gold Coast’s main training session on Thursday, just before Sunday’s clash with the Dockers.
The 23-year-old spearhead sent a huge scare through the Suns on Saturday when he hurt his left knee following an awkward landing at training. King has played a pivotal role and remains one of the most important players in the club’s journey to the finals this season.
Reports indicated that he sustained some bone bruising, but nothing severe. Judging by his recovery speed, he just might have a chance to play in the club’s next fixture.
King, who is a joint leader in the race for this season’s Coleman Medal with 38 goals, will not be present at Gold Coast’s training early this week.
Suns Football manager Wayne Campbell told AFL.com.au that the knee swelling must subside before King can participate in the team’s main training session. He said:
