“He has hurt the tendon in his shoulder,” Director of Football Rodney Eade explained to CollingwoodTV’s Blackmores Injury Update.
“Ben will have an operation this week. He will be on the long-term injury list and he will be (out for) eight weeks.
“It could be seven, but it could be nine, so it will probably be eight weeks so he will go on the long-term injury list and hopefully he’ll be back for the reserves (VFL) finals.”
Hudson has been one of Collingwood’s best-performed players in the VFL this season.
In his second season at the club – following ‘retirements’ at the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane – Hudson has averaged 17.7 disposals, 5.9 clearances and 32.9 hitouts across his nine games.
The news is better in the case of senior trio Tom Langdon, Tyson Goldsack and Nick Maxwell who are all considered to be in contention for selection against Carlton on Sunday night.
Eade said all three will be tested later on this week to determine their fitness.
Hamstrung pair Ben Sinclair and Patrick Karnezis are due to return in the VFL this Saturday, as might rookie Corey Gault who has recovered from a broken collarbone.
