Port Adelaide forward Ollie Lord has been ruled out for the remainder of 2026 after suffering a season-ending knee injury.

Scans on Saturday confirmed Lord had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The 24-year-old sustained the injury during the first half of the club's SANFL game on Good Friday at Noarlunga Oval.

"We are shattered for Ollie to receive this news," head of medical services Tim O’Leary said.

"Ollie had a really strong pre-season and was working hard to put himself back in contention for AFL selection.

"It's a tough injury for any player, but we know Ollie will take on his rehab with his characteristic positive attitude, and we will all be here to support him along the way."

Lord will see a surgeon in the coming days to undergo a repair.
