Carlton Captain Chris Judd will undergo minor surgery on his injured right shoulder and is expected to resume full training in January.
 
Judd had precautionary scans on his shoulder yesterday after experiencing some discomfort during pre-season training.
 
After a meeting with his specialist it was decided he would undergo a minor procedure to ensure he is ready for the start of the 2012 season.
 
“Chris will have a minor procedure on his shoulder early next week. At this time of the year it is best to ensure he commences 2012 in peak condition and being a shoulder injury he will be able to maintain his fitness before resuming full training in January,” said General Manager Football Operations, Andrew McKay.
 
“Thankfully this injury will have no impact on his 2012 season.”
