CARLTON forward Charlie Curnow will remain on track to feature in the opening rounds of the season after having a minor procedure today.
This procedure allowed for the removal of a screw that is no longer required from an old knee injury, which the Club was able to identify as the cause of a small level of discomfort for Curnow over the last week.
The Club has been able to move quickly to have it corrected to ensure there will be no ongoing impact for Curnow once the season begins.
Due to the minor nature of the surgery, Curnow will be able to recommence running within the week, full training in the coming weeks and be available to play in either Rounds 1 or 2.
