SEN’s Sam Edmund is reporting that North Melbourne will be without recruit Jaidyn Stephenson for up to six weeks with a fractured wrist.
Stephenson has suffered a hairline fracture of the scaphoid and will go in for surgery on Monday night.
It’s another blow to the Kangaroos who are yet to win a game so far this season.
Stephenson, 22, has impressed since arriving from Collingwood last trade period, averaging a career-high 19.2 disposals and 3.5 inside 50s per match.
North Melbourne will look to notch their first win of the campaign against fellow strugglers Hawthorn in Launceston on Saturday.
Absolute injury carnage. Jaidyn Stephenson has a fractured wrist at North Melbourne. 4-6 week injury. He suffered a hairline fracture of the scaphoid and will go in for surgery tonight. North can't take a trick.
