Opening Round Health Update: Three Players Out as Start of Season Looms
Injury Update
Collingwood’s Head of High Performance, Jarrod Wade, has shared the latest injury and health news ahead of the club’s Opening Round clash with St Kilda at the MCG on Sunday night.
Unavailable:
- Jeremy Howe
- Reef McInnes
- Darcy Moore
Jeremy Howe is making solid progress from a calf strain. He’s moving into main training this week and will continue loading and increasing intensity with the goal of being available for selection within the next fortnight.
Reef McInnes has begun full training, including match play, as he recovers from last year’s ACL injury. Over the coming weeks, he’ll build up match-simulation minutes and exposure before he’s cleared to return to action.
Darcy Moore is advancing well on his comeback from a calf issue. He’s completing full training and will be assessed next week for potential selection.
Injury details and estimated return:
- Darcy Moore — Calf — 1 week
- Jeremy Howe — Calf — 1–2 weeks
- Reef McInnes — Knee — 4–6 weeks
