MICHAEL Voss has confirmed Sam Walsh will need at least another week of training before being available for selection.
Despite talk that Carlton’s co-vice captain could be available for tomorrow’s Good Friday SuperClash, the earliest Walsh will return will next week’s Gather Round opener against Adelaide.
Voss said the Blues had continued to focus on a steady recovery for Walsh after back surgery in pre-season.
“He won’t play this week. We’ve been steadfast in our position with him,” Voss said.
“He’s had some milestones he’s had to achieve. One of those was training fully yesterday, which he did.
"Barring him not pulling up well from that particular session - which I'm lead to believe he's okay - he'll be available next week."
