Essendon midfielder Dyson Heppell is expected to miss this week's game against the Gold Coast after fracturing his hand at training today.

Club doctor Bruce Reid said Heppell's recovery period would be minimal after undergoing surgery shortly after the accident.

"Dyson sustained a fracture in his hand during training this morning but we were extremely fortunate that Greg Hoy was available to operate on his hand within the hour," Reid said.

"The surgery was a success, Dyson had a plate and screws inserted into his hand and we're confident his recovery time will be minimal."

Absolute madness. Wonder how this will affect jobe?
GC don't normally tag so probably work in his favor
