Mitchito Owens has officially been cleared of major AC joint damage, following consultation with experts today.

The burgeoning forward will not require surgery and remains in the frame to line up against the Crows.

“It was a great result to get the all-clear from specialists this morning,” EGM Football David Misson said.

“Mitch is already feeling much better, but we’ll still have to monitor his progress over the next two weeks as we lead into the start of our season.”

Owens is joined by Rowan Marshall and Jack Sinclair, who will both train fully this week, on the road from recovery to Round 1.

A full injury update will be available on saints.com.au on Tuesday afternoon.
