Two Carlton Football Club players were hospitalized on Sunday morning following an off-season social gathering, according to a statement released by the club.
Lachie Cowan, aged 21, and Will Hayward, aged 27, were both treated and discharged from hospital. The club characterized their hospitalizations as stemming from separate circumstances. According to the club’s account, Cowan received medical treatment and underwent observation before being released shortly thereafter, though additional details about his situation were not disclosed. Hayward sustained a minor head injury from a fall and was admitted to hospital later on Sunday morning after returning home. He received stitches for the wound before being discharged.
Both players were part of a larger group socializing together on Saturday evening during the off-season period. The club stated that neither player is understood to be seriously unwell or injured, and emphasized that it has maintained regular contact with both individuals with an emphasis on their wellbeing. The club confirmed that both players have received the necessary care related to their respective situations.
Ambulance Victoria responded to an incident in the inner-suburban area of South Yarra at approximately 5:15am on Sunday. A man in his 20s was transported by ambulance to the Alfred hospital in stable condition, according to Ambulance Victoria.
The hospitalization of the two players occurred while AFL players league-wide are on leave during the trade period, which continues until Wednesday evening of that week.
