Main Body

The Adelaide Football Club confirmed that one of its players was involved in a collision with a pedestrian on Friday morning at Port Road in Woodville. South Australia Police have started an investigation into the accident, and both the driver and the pedestrian spoke with police on Friday afternoon. Although the club did not name the player at first, he was later identified as Josh Worrell. Furthermore, the club stated that Worrell is physically fine and is expected to play in the next match against Gold Coast, despite missing a training session.

阿德萊德足球俱樂部證實,其一名球員於週五上午在 Woodville 的 Port Road 與一名行人發生碰撞。南澳州警方已對該事故展開調查,駕駛員與行人雙方均於週五下午與警方進行了對話。儘管俱樂部起初未公布球員姓名,但隨後確認該球員為 Josh Worrell。此外,俱樂部表示 Worrell 身體狀況良好,儘管錯過了一次訓練,但預計將參加下一場對陣 Gold Coast 的比賽。

At the same time, the final arrangements for the game between Collingwood and North Melbourne at Docklands have been completed. This match is unusual for North Melbourne because it is their first standalone Friday night primetime game since 2019. Regarding the rosters, Collingwood has made one change, with Scott Pendlebury replacing Harvey Harrison. Meanwhile, North Melbourne has made four changes: Riley Hardeman, Paul Curtis, Matt Whitlock, and Zac Banch have joined the team, while George Wardlaw, Josh Goater, Wil Dawson, and Jacob Konstanty are out.

同時,在 Docklands 舉行的 Collingwood 與 North Melbourne 之戰的最終安排已完成。這場比賽對 North Melbourne 而言較為特殊,因為這是他們自 2019 年以來首場獨立的週五晚間黃金時段比賽。在陣容方面,Collingwood 做出了一項調整,由 Scott Pendlebury 取代 Harvey Harrison。而 North Melbourne 則有四項變動:Riley Hardeman、Paul Curtis、Matt Whitlock 與 Zac Banch 加入球隊,而 George Wardlaw、Josh Goater、Wil Dawson 與 Jacob Konstanty 則不在陣中。

Conclusion

In summary, Josh Worrell is expected to be available for Adelaide, and the Collingwood and North Melbourne game will go ahead with the updated team lists.

總結來說,Josh Worrell 預計將能為阿德萊德出賽,而 Collingwood 與 North Melbourne 的比賽將依照更新後的名單進行。
