Injury update: Matt Guelfi​

Utility sidelined by calf injury.

Scans have today revealed Essendon forward Matt Guelfi has suffered a calf strain at training this week.

The 25-year-old is expected to miss the next few weeks of pre-season training.

General Manager of Performance Daniel McPherson said Guelfi had been one of the standouts over the pre-season and has a great fitness base which will hopefully help him to recover quite quickly.

“Matt suffered calf soreness following training and was sent for a precautionary MRI, which confirmed that he has a strain in his calf,” McPherson said.

“He is an important part of our team, and we will take the time to ensure he is fully recovered ahead of the season."
