COLLINGWOOD

Jamie Elliott will spend some time on a modified training program as he manages a minor vascular issue.

After experiencing foot soreness last week, the concern was initially believed to be back related but further assessment has revealed a treatable vascular issue.

Elliott will see vascular specialists for further prognosis and treatment.

Collingwood Head of High-Performance Jarrod Wade said:

“Disappointing news for Jamie who will spend two to three weeks on a modified training program as he recovers from a vascular issue. In positive news it is not a significant issue, and it is treatable.

“While Jamie recovers and receives treatment, he will be able to train and will continue to keep his fitness.”

Jeremy Howe has suffered a minor groin strain. The 33-year-old is expected to miss two to three weeks.

Harvey Harrison will be assessed for Saturday’s match having sustained an ankle inversion injury during Sunday’s game.

Jack Bytel has entered the concussion protocols after suffering a head knock during the third quarter of Sunday’s game.

Jordan De Goey will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s game as he continues to recover from a groin injury.

After successfully completing a 10.5km running session on the weekend, the midfielder will need to get through training this week before being available for selection.

Tom Mitchell is continuing his rehabilitation from planta facia after overcoming appendicitis last week.

After completing a high-end running session over the weekend, he will train this week and be assessed before the weekend’s game.

Beau McCreery continues to work through concussion protocols and is expected to build his running loads this week.

McCreery is expected to be available for selection in Rounds 11 or 12.

Brody Mihocek is progressing well in his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Mihocek will continue to build his running loads this week and if completed successfully, he will return to training next week with a hopefully return for Round 11.

Josh Carmichael has experienced delayed concussion symptoms and will work through the AFL’s concussion protocols.

Aiden Begg suffered a knee injury during Saturday’s VFL match.

The 21-year-old has been cleared of ACL damage but has received some damage to his MCL and PCL. A return timeframe will be confirmed after surgical reviews.

Tew Jiath is recovering well from his minor syndesmosis injury. He will look to begin running this week and will be assessed this week.

Josh Eyre is progressing through his hamstring rehabilitation with improvements in his running abilities.

He will now look to increase his speed doses before returning to full training. Once he completes two strong good weeks of full training, he will be available for selection.

Oscar Steene has started his rehabilitation for a toe injury and is progressing well.

He will remain in a moon boot for another three weeks before he’s able to return to running.

Dan McStay has completed a strong block of training and will enter a period of download in a weeks’ time before being rested for a week to ten days.

Upon his return, he will look to be introduced to contact training, another positive step in his ACL recovery.

 

ESSENDON

Sam Draper is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after undergoing a knee arthroscopy on Tuesday morning.

“Sam is an important player for us, both for our structure and for the energy he provides to the team, so we wanted to get on top of this issue as quickly as possible,” GM – AFL, Daniel McPherson said.

“After a couple of days of recovery post-operation, he will undertake a rehab program which we expect will have him available to return to play just after our mid-season bye.”

Jordan Ridley

has been out of action since suffering a quad injury in the pre-season and re-aggravating it back in April, but will be a test this week following a conservative rehab process.

Provided Ridley gets through training without issue, he’ll be a chance to line up for his first game of the season.

Zach Reid and small forward Jye Menzie made successful returns from injury via the VFL last week, each getting through full games.

Reid accumulated 26 disposals and 10 marks in his first game since suffering a hamstring strain in round one, while Menzie picked up 13 touches and a goal on return from a niggling shoulder injury.

Kaine Baldwin is making steady progress in his rehab from a navicular injury sustained in pre-season, looking at a potential playing return before the Bombers’ round 14 bye.

Xavier Duursma is expected to miss the next 5-6 weeks after suffering an untimely quad tear during main training last week, with follow-up scans confirming the full extent of the injury.
