Luckless Swans superstar set for months on sidelines
Jaiden Sciberras • March 16th, 2026 4:03 pm
Errol Gulden's luckless run with injury continues after being ruled out for at least four months following a significant shoulder injury.
Caught in a tackle during Sydney's triumphant win over the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night, Gulden suffered a dislocation to his right shoulder.
The club announced on Monday morning that Gulden, 23, will be sent in for surgery later this week, ruling him out for at least four months.
Gulden's Round 1 injury comes off the back of a fractured ankle suffered during pre-season in 2025 that held him out of action until Round 15, limited to just 10 contests over the course of last season.
A four-month stint on the sidelines will see Gulden return ahead the AFL finals.
The Swans released this statement:
Sydney Swans midfielder Errol Gulden sustained a dislocated shoulder on Saturday night against Brisbane.
Gulden will have surgery later this week.
He is expected to be unavailable for approximately four months of football.
