Former Fremantle player Liam Henry’s first season at St Kilda is over, with the club confirming he has suffered cartilage damage in his knee.

Henry was helped off the field in the third quarter of the Saints’ emphatic win over West Coast at Marvel Stadium on Saturday and did not return.

Scans on Sunday have now revealed significant damage and the winger will miss the final five weeks of the season.

“Scans today have shown Liam has significant cartilage damage to his knee,” Saints general manager of football David Misson said.

“This will require surgery and unfortunately see Liam miss the remainder of the season.”

Henry’s first season since walking out on the Dockers has been plagued by injuries and he has played just 11 games.

“Liam has had a rough run with injuries this year which has been disappointing, but we’ve also been able to see the impact he can have when he is up and running, so we’re confident that after this period of rehab we’ll see Liam back to his best in 2025,” Misson said.

The Saints will already be without young gun Matteas Phillipou for the a number of weeks as they prepare to take on Essendon on Saturday.
