Hawthorn captain James Sicily has recently undergone shoulder surgery to address a persistent injury that affected him throughout the 2024 AFL season. The All-Australian defender suffered multiple dislocations, with the most significant occurring during the clash against the Western Bulldogs in Round 8. Despite this setback, Sicily demonstrated resilience by returning to play and contributing to his team, even during finals.
Sicily’s surgery, which took place earlier this week, aims to provide a long-term solution to the issues he faced throughout the season. As he begins his recovery, he will participate in a modified training program when the Hawks report back to the club on November 25. This tailored approach will allow him to gradually transition into full-contact training as the pre-season progresses.
The surgery marks a crucial step for Sicily, who has been a vital player for Hawthorn, providing leadership and skill on the field. His ability to impact the game both defensively and offensively, combined with his experience, makes him an invaluable asset for the team as they prepare for the 2025 season.
As Hawthorn looks ahead, fans and analysts will be keeping a close eye on Sicily’s recovery and readiness for the upcoming season. His leadership will be essential in guiding the team as they aim to build on their performance from the past season.
