West Coast AFL forward Mark Nicoski faces more surgery on his torn hamstring after experiencing complications from the initial operation.

Nicoski was initially expected to miss up to 12 weeks after rupturing a tendon in his left hamstring in the Eagles’ pre-season final loss to Adelaide two weeks ago.

The 28-year-old will consult the club’s medical staff to determine the next course of surgery, with Nicoski still hopeful of returning to the fray in the second half of the season.
