"He has had plantar fascia soreness in the last week," Port football manager Peter Rohde told the team's website. "He managed training on Monday but is still sore and we've planned to have him undergo surgery. He won't run for two weeks and will resume full training after about four. We think it's likely he'll be available for the opening week of the NAB Cup," which starts on February 17th against St. Kilda.
Hitchcock, 22, has had a run of injuries since making his AFL debut in 2010, with shoulder and hamstring problems that restricted him to just two games last season.
Hitchcock's surgery is the latest for the club, which currently has five players coming from surgery in the offseason: Robbie Grey (knee), John Butcher (hip), Daniel Stewart (hip), and Brent Renouf (knee).
