Collingwood’s Star Duo Sidelined for Blockbuster Clash Against Carlton: AFL Fans Brace for Impact!
Collingwood’s key players Jordan De Goey and Tom Mitchell are set to miss their team’s highly anticipated AFL showdown against arch-rivals Carlton this Friday night. De Goey has been sidelined due to groin soreness, a condition that has kept him out of training since Collingwood’s recent draw with Essendon on Anzac Day.
Meanwhile, Mitchell continues to grapple with persistent foot problems, rendering him unfit for the upcoming match. This setback deals a significant blow to Collingwood, especially considering their recent resurgence after a challenging start to the season. De Goey, in particular, will miss his first game of the season, with his recovery timeline uncertain. Collingwood coach Craig McRae expressed hope for De Goey’s swift recovery but acknowledged the unpredictability of such injuries. Mitchell, on the other hand, has been managing plantar fasciitis, which forced him out of the Anzac Day clash. Despite efforts to prepare him for the Carlton fixture, he was unable to complete training. As Collingwood grapples with these injury setbacks, Carlton prepares to welcome back key players Adam Cerra and David Cunningham from injury, providing a potential boost following their recent defeat to Geelong.
