Dyson Heppell will undergo minor surgery on his knee this morning.

The midfielder had complained of some discomfort in his knee during yesterday’s training session.

Club Doctor Bruce Reid said Heppell will undergo the procedure to ensure he spends minimal time on the sidelines.

“Dyson will have an arthroscopy to remove a small piece of cartilage which had become a loose body,” Reid said.

“Julian Feller will operate on Dyson this morning and we expect he’ll be back training in two weeks time.”
