Adelaide forward Callum Ah Chee will miss 6-8 weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game against the Western Bulldogs.
Crows General Manager High Performance Ian McKeown said scans over the weekend showed the 28-year-old experienced a high-grade hamstring strain while lunging during a spoil.
“Cal will now begin his rehab, we expect him to miss at least six weeks,” McKeown said.
After playing out Friday night’s game with soreness, Rory Laird will miss 1-2 weeks with a minor soleus strain in his lower calf, while Josh Worrell - who also played out Friday's game with calf soreness - will be assessed on his availability for Round Three’s game against Geelong later this week.
Adelaide ruck/forward Toby Murray will be a test after being managed in Round Two for back soreness, while young midfielder Sid Draper could also be available for selection after suffering a low-grade ankle injury in a SANFL trial game earlier this month.
McKeown said Mark Keane and Dan Curtin also continue to progress well in their respective rehabilitation programs.
“Keaney is now out of his moon boot, which is good news, while Dan has started to integrate with the main group while increasing his training and running loads,” McKeown said.
