Young Crows defender Sam Shaw will miss Saturday’s clash with West Coast with an eye injury.

Shaw, who was hit in the face by the football during Sunday’s game against GWS, has been told by a specialist to rest for a week.

Crows football operations manager Phil Harper said: “Sam had some blurred vision when he got hit on Sunday and he was off for most of the second quarter but he was able to come back on and contribute strongly to the team’s win.

“Sam then saw a specialist back in Adelaide on Monday and he has some bleeding behind the eye, so he’s been advised to not train or play this week.”
