Collingwood v Carlton Friday May 2, 7.50pm MCG Fox Footy / 7mate 7.30pm Weather: Min 11 Max 15 Chance of rain 90%: 10-20mm Wind: SW 19kph Betting: Collingwood $1.25 Carlton $3.90

The two men injured in Collingwood’s ANZAC Day win over Essendon remain in contention to take to the field against arch rival Carlton on Friday night.
Clinton Young (corked leg) has been given the all clear to tackle the Blues under the MCG lights, while Alex Fasolo (foot) will be tested later this week.
“The early prognosis is that he might miss this week,” Director of Football Rodney Eade said of Fasolo.
Watch Rodney Eade discuss the injury status of Fasolo, Young, Lynch, Williams and others in his weekly injury update on CollingwoodTV in the video above.
“He’s 50-50 at this stage, his foot and toe are a little bit sore.
“Everything was clear on the scan so we’re hopeful that he might play this week but he’ll certainly be available after the bye.”
Fasolo was substituted out of the match during the third quarter.
It was a disappointing end to the 21-year-old’s afternoon, for it was on ANZAC Day last year that his senior campaign also came to a halt.
Unfortunately, the news is not as good for Quinten Lynch and Corey Gault.
The West Australian pair was injured in Saturday’s VFL win over Essendon at Windy Hill.
Lynch sustained a broken leg during the third quarter while Gault suffered a broken collarbone moments after kicking the first goal of the game.
“Lynch unfortunately fractured his leg, the non-weight bearing bone in his leg,” Eade sighed.
“Depending on what happens with the surgeon about what is the best method to fix that, whether it’s just by natural healing or whether there’s a plate inserted.
“We’re hopeful, fingers crossed, it will just be the 5-6 weeks.”
