Injury Update: Nic Martin
Nic Martin had successful knee surgery yesterday after consultation with his surgeon this week.
Martin suffered a setback after a minor training incident a couple of weeks ago. Follow-up scans confirmed damage to the recently reconstructed knee.
After consulting the surgeon and the Club’s high-performance and medical team, Martin elected to have surgery to give himself the strongest long-term outcome.
“It’s obviously a setback, but I have complete confidence in our medical and high-performance team and our long-term plan for me,” Martin said.
“I’m feeling good post-surgery and I’m ready to take the time to build my knee back up and I know I’m in the best hands possible, and I’ll attack this rehab with everything I’ve got to come back stronger.”
Bomber blow as gun ruled out for 2026 after further knee surgery
ESSENDON gun Nic Martin will miss the 2026 season after undergoing further surgery on his knee following a training accident.
Martin was hurt at training earlier this month and, after scans confirmed damage to his recently reconstructed knee, underwent further surgery on Thursday.
The 24-year-old, who had been impressing in his recovery from the initial surgery, will take a long-term focus in a bid to be ready for day one of pre-season ahead of the 2027 campaign.
"It's obviously a setback, but I have complete confidence in our medical and high performance team and our long-term plan for me," Martin said.

Essendon injury crisis deepens as star to miss entire 2026 season
Essendon Bombers midfielder Nic Martin will miss the full 2026 season after undergoing a follow-up surgery on his knee on Thursday.
Martin was set to miss most of next year after tearing his ACL in Round 18 against Richmond, but an innocuous slip at training earlier in November sparked fresh concerns for his recently reconstructed knee.
The 24-year-old then underwent scans, which confirmed damage to the knee.
It's devastating timing for Martin, who had been "impressing in his recovery" from the major setback, but will now have to wait until 2027 to take to the football field again competitively.
However, the young star remained optimistic despite the brutal blow, confident the Bombers medical and high performance team can get him back to his 2024 best, where he averaged 28.3 disposals per game.
