CARLTON forward Elijah Hollands has withdrawn from Saturday’s game against the GWS Giants.

The Club has been continuing to work closely with Hollands, offering its full support to the 23-year-old since he came forward seeking help regarding his personal issues earlier this year.

Hollands’ personal health and wellbeing has been, and will remain, the number one priority during this period.

“Our support for Elijah remains ongoing, with the focus being on what is in the best interests of his personal health and wellbeing,” Carlton General Manager of Football Brad Lloyd said.

“As we know the journey is certainly not linear when it comes to this space, and as a club we will ensure Elijah is given all the time, care and support he needs.”
