Carlton has suffered another injury blow with Sam Docherty ruled out of Saturday's clash with the Western Bulldogs.

Head of Football Andrew McKay says Docherty has suffered a minor hamstring injury.

"Unfortunately scans have revealed that Sam has suffered a hamstring strain so he'll be out of action this week," McKay said.

"It's really unfortunate given Sam has been in such great form, but I'm sure he'll be back soon and give us some more terrific games in the coming weeks."

Meanwhile Troy Menzel and Andrew Carrazzo will also miss the Bulldogs game with injuries sustained in the win over Gold Coast.

Menzel suffered bone bruising around his knee and Carrazzo sprained his toe.

Both players are expected to be available for selection for Round 15.
