Vice-captain Josh Kelly has been sidelined by another calf injury as the GIANTS get set to take on Carlton in a crucial clash.
Kelly reported soreness following Saturday’s loss to the Crows with scans revealing a calf strain that will sideline him for four-to-five weeks.
It’s the opposite calf that kept him sidelined for four weeks from rounds 10-13.
All Australian defender Sam Taylor is targeting a return in the coming weeks after beginning running this week.
The star leader was injured in the clash with Port Adelaide and will have another specialist appointment in the next fortnight to clear him to return to the field.
Key defender and former club champion Nick Haynes could return from a hamstring injury for this week’s clash with the Blues, with the veteran set to be tested at main training on Thursday.
Meanwhile, second-year GIANT Harry Rowston is managing a back issue and after missing last week’s VFL clash, will be sidelined indefinitely while the injury is managed.
