Sydney Swans forward Sam Reid today had scans on his right knee, which he injured during the first quarter of Saturday night’s match against the Gold Coast Suns.

Swans doctor Nathan Gibbs said the scans confirmed Reid had sustained a partial tear of his medial ligament.

“Sam has suffered a partial tear of the medial ligament in his right knee,” Gibbs said.

“The good news is that the scan revealed no other damage to the knee and that no surgery will be required.”

Reid is expected to be available for selection in 2-3 weeks time.
