Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer is well on the road to recovery. 

The big man was a welcome sight on the training track at Visy Park on Monday morning, joining in a skills session before completing some extra running.

The 25-year-old hasn’t played since Round 1 after having surgery on his foot. 

Carlton development coach Michael Osborne says Kreuzer is on the cusp of a return. 

“He’s had a long stint on the sidelines but he trained pretty well today. He’s certainly looking to get back into the mix towards the end of the season,” Osborne said.

“Hopefully we’ll get him out there and he can play some footy this year.”
