Carlton Football Club can confirm Jacob Weitering is likely to miss the next two to three weeks with a minor capsular injury to his right shoulder.

Head of Football Andrew McKay said Weitering would let the inflammation settle over the next day or two, before resuming rehabilitation on his shoulder.

“We will wait for the soreness to settle and then Jacob will focus on building the strength back into his shoulder before being considered to play which at this stage, looks to be around two to three weeks,” McKay said.

Charlie Curnow has also been diagnosed with glandular fever. 

“After Charlie was feeling run down last week, we got some tests done and results have confirmed this diagnosis,” McKay said. 

“We will monitor him closely over the next week or two which will give us a clearer indication of how long he will be sidelined for.”
