Crows general manager football operations Phil Harper said McLeod’s right knee was “cleaned out” during the procedure.
“At the moment we are unable to put a timeframe on his return but it is definitely not a season ending injury,” Harper said.
“The club doctors have advised that we may be able to put a rough timeline on Andrew’s recovery by the end of this week.”
McLeod was unable to return to the ground after half-time in Saturday’s game against Fremantle.
