Crows forward Jared Petrenko will be sidelined by a stress fracture in his lower right leg.

Petrenko had scans after reporting soreness in recent weeks. It is not the first time he has suffered this type of injury.

Crows General Manager- Football Administration Phil Harper said the talented forward would miss 4 – 6 weeks.

“Jared has been diagnosed with a small stress fracture and is wearing a moonboot,” Harper said.

“He requires rest before slowly building up his training workload, in preparation to play again.”
