Cerra did his syndesmosis and was helped from the ground, hobbling, against The Crows on Round 5 Sunday April 18. He returned to play in Round 9 on Sunday May 16.
He was running in full training the week before he played.
Quote:
Fremantle have copped another serious injury blow with news that midfielder Adam Cerra will miss about a month of football after scans confirmed an ankle syndesmosis injury.
The injury is at the lower and of seriousness for a syndesmosis, but Cerra will miss three to four games.
That will put him on the sidelines for Fremantle’s Optus Stadium matches against North Melbourne, West Coast and Brisbane and in doubt for the clash with Essendon* at Marvel Stadium in round nine.
The Dockers hoped Cerra had dodged serious injury after getting the ankle caught underneath his body in a tackle in the first quarter of the Dockers’ 12-point win against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

He played throughout the game with not too much discomfort, only found out about injury after scans.

“He was able to carry on and finish off the session, but scans revealed that syndesmosis injury, which can take a bit of time. It was really disappointing, unfortunately.
“He’s unbelievably resilient, but pretty disappointing.
