Tarak Redigolo to Miss Remainder of 2016 Season

South Adelaide defender Tarak Redigolo is set for an extended stint on the sidelines after injuring his knee against Port Adelaide Magpies at Alberton Oval on Sunday afternoon.

Redigolo injured his right knee in the final minutes of the Panthers loss to Port Adelaide, with South Adelaide Football Manager, Neill Sharpe revealing the small defender is unlikely to return to the field in 2016.

"Tarak hurt his knee in the closing stages of the game against Port," said Sharpe.

"He will see a specialist during the week, but the early diagnosis is that he has torn his ACL and will likely be out of action for the rest of the season.

"Tarak is a fantastic ambassador for our Club and a dedicated worker and respected leader. We wish him well in his recovery."

The Panthers joint Vice-Captain's injured right knee is the same knee that he had reconstructed in 2014.
