Witherden (groin) is expected to miss the next month as he recovers from groin soreness, his club reported ahead of Round 12.

May 25, 2021
Witherden (groin) will miss at least Round 11 against Essendon, according to GM Craig Vozzo.
ANALYSIS
Witherden first missed Round 10 with a groin issue and pulled up sore again this week. With a cautious approach being taken, Witherden can't play just yet. In five games, Witherden has bookended fantasy scores in the seventies with games over 120 points, so his value is rather unstable.
