LUCKLESS Fremantle midfielder Anthony Morabito appears to have suffered yet another setback after injuring his leg at training this morning.

The 21-year-old was tackling teammate Tanner Smith when he yelled out in pain and grabbed his left knee - the same knee the midfielder has had operated on twice in the past two years.

Morabito immediately slumped to the ground on all fours and put his head in his hands.

Dockers forward Michael Walters urgently signalled for attention for his stricken teammate, who was able to walk off the ground unassisted but went straight into the rooms.

Minutes later, Morabito appeared to be driven out of Fremantle Oval by coach Ross Lyon.

Morabito played 23 games for Fremantle during the 2010 season but has not appeared at AFL level since, with the midfielder twice tearing his left ACL ligament.

The young Docker had been targeting a NAB Cup return after resuming training in the off-season.

He has been mentored by coaching great David Parkin during his comeback.
