Back training in January.How long is he out for
The gun recruit for whom the Blues gave up a top ten draft pick in the trade exchange, has a stress reaction in his navicular but not a stress fracture. A CT scan Monday morning confirmed MRI scans of the foot taken on Saturday.
"It's better news than we thought i tmight have been," Carlton football manager Andrew Mackay said.
"Luckily it's not a stress fracture, it's a stress reaction. We have been lucky we have caught it early. But he will miss 10 weeks of training."
It's not fractured. It's just a stress reaction.Navicular fractures - same injury that has put Trengove on the sidelines for endless months and also ruined Egan's career as well if i remember correctly?
Worst news.
Not sure I quite understand what a stress reaction is. Your thoughts Dr Etsal1It's not fractured. It's just a stress reaction.
From my limited understanding it's like the phase before a fracture. So in other words they caught it earlier than they caught Giles' who needed surgery as it was fractured.Not sure I quite understand what a stress reaction is. Your thoughts Dr Etsal1

Haha fair point B64, i'd like a dollar for every 3-4 week injury that has seen the player return in 10 weeks!!It's the way the club breaks the news gently to us.
Read it as "His foot is ******, he'll need surgery and we expect him to debut about round 4, 2016.
That friggin pile of moon boots just had to find a home.
Hoep the club is not understating it. Would rather know the full extent than get the kind of crap they usually feed us about injuries.
Very clever etsal1I don't think the time he'll miss with that injury is that much of an issue given his age & need to develop his body etc.
My concern is that foot injuries are notoriously bad and don't always heel according to plan.
