Sydney Sixers all-rounder Ellyse Perry has suffered a low-grade AC injury to her right shoulder that's expected to keep her out of action for 1-3 weeks, the Sixers confirmed on Monday (November 18). She will miss the upcoming match against the Hobart Hurricanes and will undergo further assessment later in the week.

Perry picked up the injury while falling heavily on her shoulder in yesterday's loss against the Melbourne Renegades. While she didn't go off the field, she was in apparent discomfort for the rest of the chase.

However, the injury is not thought to be of a serious nature and Perry is set to be available for the WBBL finals in December, should the Sixers qualify. They are currently placed third on the points table with 12 points from nine matches.
