CARLTON forward Harry McKay is set to undergo an arthroscope on his knee, which is expected sideline him for the next six to eight weeks.

McKay was subbed out of the game in the first quarter of Saturday’s win over Port Adelaide.

Consultation with a surgeon on Monday confirmed a clean out of the knee was required.

The 25-year-old will undergo the procedure this week before commencing his rehabilitation.

“While it is disappointing for Harry that he will be sidelined, we know he will be the ultimate professional and continue to have a positive influence around the Club during this period of the season,” Carlton Head of Football Brad Lloyd said.

“One of the main things the playing group prides itself on is stepping up and everyone playing their role when needed. That opportunity will present again in Harry’s absence.

“We’ll continue to lean on our even contribution across the board as we lock in for this Saturday’s game against West Coast.”
