Source: Channel 7 Geelong captain Joel Selwood has suffered a hamstring injury early in his side’s match against Collingwood at Optus Stadium. The 32-year-old was attacking a contest early in the first quarter before pulling up lame and immediately grabbing at his left hamstring. Joel Anthony Selwood (born 26 May 1988) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Picture: Channel 7 Selwood, who underwent hamstring surgery over the summer, left the ground halfway through the first quarter … He played with the injury late in Thursday night’s win over Geelong, kicking a couple of his five goals while hurt.“(It’s a) pretty significant injury,” Magpies GM of football Geoff Walsh said.“It’ll be a couple of months I think before we see Jordy back in action. I feel for those guys (the medical team) as they will unfairly be lumped with a bit of pressure.”On a return timeframe, Ziebell said he’s likely to miss a month of footy, which could encapsulate more missed games than usual due to this year’s shorter turnarounds.“It’s probably going to be around that four-week mark, hopefully a bit earlier, but in saying that there’ll be no risk-taking,” he said.“I’ll be doing everything I can to be back as soon as possible.”Western Bulldogs tall Aaron Naughton has started running on his injured ankle with the club hopeful he could be back within a month.Naughton is one of three Dogs currently sidelined with a syndesmosis injury - midfielders Josh Dunkley and Lin Jong the others - with the forward going down in Round 4’s win over Sydney.But Naughton is back running and the Bulldogs have placed a time frame of four to six weeks on his return.“Aaron is going well after his syndesmosis ankle surgery,” Bulldogs medical services manager Chris Bell said.“He has commenced running and will continue to progress over the next couple of weeks.“We’re optimistic that we’ll see him back in the next four to six weeks.”Jong is also four to six weeks away from a potential return while Dunkley is three to five away.Geelong believes captain Joel Selwood’s latest hamstring injury isn’t serious, but he’s still expected to miss several weeks.The skipper joined fellow midfielders Mitch Duncan and Quinton Narkle on the sidelines with hamstring complaints after being forced off the ground early in last Thursday’s loss to Collingwood.“Joel had scans and it was your standard hamstring, so we will treat that clinically,” Cats GM of football Simon Lloyd said.“It is disappointing for Joel, but he has now accepted it for what it is, and he will go through the rehab process and support any of our young players that may get an opportunity going forward.”Meanwhile the Cats are optimistic Jordan Clark will be available again some time this season, as he won’t need surgery on his dislocated shoulder.“He has also had scans and our medical team have made the decision that we won’t need to go through the operation route which is positive,” Lloyd said.“Our intention with Jordan that he will return to play at some stage this season.”“Jordan has worked very hard to get back into the team and it is a real credit to his professionalism, and you can see his ability to break the lines and really add speed to our team and he is a very important player to our future Jordan.”But in better news, Geelong is likely to regain Mitch Duncan (hamstring) and defender Tom Stewart (collarbone) for next Monday’s clash with Fremantle.“We had a big session yesterday (Saturday) and did a large volume of running and it was high contact as well and Tom completed the entire session,” Lloyd said.“With the 11-day turnaround for us we are giving Mitch every opportunity to play, so he has had some good running, hit some high speed and every intention for us is that Mitch Duncan will come into the team against Fremantle Monday week.”Carlton forward Jack Silvagni will miss this week’s game against North Melbourne after irritating a fractured rib he sustained in Round 4.Silvagni played in a scratch match against St Kilda on Sunday, which he was cleared to play for, but has since suffered a setback.Carlton’s director of high performance Andrew Russell confirmed the news to the club website.“Jack Silvagni irritated his ITB as it’s known,” he said.“We probably won’t play him this week: he’ll probably miss one or two games.
