Soligo’s issues come with the likes of Mark Keane, Dan Curtin, Isaac Cumming , Mitch Hinge and Izak Rankine all battling various complaints.

The Crows have since released this statement:

Crows midfielder Jake Soligo has been ruled out of Saturday’s practice game against Fremantle in Mandurah.

Soligo took part in today’s main session however, he has been on a managed training workload in recent weeks due to an irregular heartbeat.

The Club has liaised with its own experienced medical staff, as well as external specialists, to best manage the 23-year-old’s recovery.

Soligo is expected to return to training next week.
