The Cats are describing Patrick Dangerfield’s hamstring injury scans as ‘positive news’ – with the skipper suffering a low-grade strain.
“Pat has been in fantastic form, so we are disappointed to lose him for the next few weeks,” Footy Boss Simon Lloyd said.
“It’s positive news that it’s on the lower end of a hamstring injury.
“Pat has already commenced his rehabilitation program and will continue his strong leadership across our football program.”
The injury could force the Cats into at least two changes for the Round 9 clash against Richmond, with small forward Brad Close copping a one-week ban for a his dangerous tackle on Jordan Dawson.
The incident was assessed as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, but the club has elected to challenge the one-match sanction.
