THE Club can confirm co-vice captain Sam Walsh has been placed on a modified training program. 

“Sam experienced back soreness after completing match simulation last Monday. After further assessment it has been decided to reduce his training loads,” Carlton General Manager of Football Brad Lloyd said.

“We will take a no-risk approach with Sam’s return to play, therefore he will not feature in the upcoming practice games, with the Club to provide a further update on Sam’s progress prior to our Round Zero clash against Brisbane.”
