Carlton has mixed news on the injury front heading into Saturday’s Round 19 clash with Collingwood at the MCG.
Jason Tutt rolled his ankle in the loss to the Kangaroos, but he’s expected to train fully on Wednesday and if he does he will be available to play.
Good news also for Andrew Walker who could return to the senior side after a successful comeback from a knee injury with the Northern Blues.
But Head of Football Andrew McKay says Nick Graham has suffered a setback.
“Nick Graham’s had a stress reaction in his foot and that was all going well, but it’s flared up again so he’s back in the boot,” McKay said.
“It’s really unfortunate for Nick and means he’ll be out for another couple of weeks – we should get him back before the end of the year, but it will be late in the year.”
Meanwhile Cameron Giles is a step closer to playing his first game in almost 18 months after recovering from a foot injury – he could be available for selection next week and will likely return through the development side.
