Scans have confirmed that Nat Fyfe suffered a moderate-grade hamstring strain during Peel Thunder’s WAFL match on the weekend.

Fyfe will not require surgery and his return to play timeline will be formalised over the coming fortnight as symptoms and functionality progress.  

Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty has expressed his disappointment for Fyfe.

“It’s obviously frustrating for Nat as he had been progressing well following his knee injury sustained during the pre-season,” Brierty said.

“We know the calibre of the person and player that he is, and we know Nat will dedicate himself to his recovery with the support of our performance health team.”

Fyfe suffered the hamstring injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s match while working his way back into football after undergoing a knee arthroscopy in January.
