Travis Cloke remains some chance of taking his place in the Collingwood line up for its final game of the home and away season. The power forward withdrew from Friday night’s win against Geelong moments before the team ran out after injuring his leg in the pre-game warm up. Director of Football Neil Balme said Cloke will be tested later in the week ahead of Collingwood’s clash with Essendon on Sunday. “He was a bit stiff. It wasn’t specifically a hamstring but he was pretty sore, so we were a bit worried about him this week,” Balme told Collingwood Media’s Blackmores Injury Update. “Whilst we hope he will play this week, there is no absolute guarantee so we will see how he goes.” While Cloke remains a chance to see out the year, Dane Swan’s season is done and dusted. “Dane has unfortunately strained the medial ligament in his knee,” Balme continued. “It’s nothing particularly serious and he will recover fairly well but he won’t play for the rest of the season.” Until his injury, Swan had not missed a game this season. Ben Sinclair is another who will sit out the final game of the home and away season. The 23-year-old has endured a wretched run with injuries during the past two seasons, a theme that continued into his fiftieth game when he broke his hand but still managed to play out the match. “Ben fractured his hand earlier in the game and whilst he was able to play on very courageously, he will need some surgery on it,” Balme said. “He won’t play for the rest of the year either, unfortunately.” Utility Corey Gault has also been ruled out for the remainder of the season after being sent in for surgery on his groin/ hip. |
