BRISBANE Lions captain Tom Rockliff expects to miss no more than a fortnight following his latest hamstring injury.

Rockliff, 26, left the field during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to Port Adelaide, and scan results showed some minor hamstring damage.

The Lions skipper will definitely be sidelined for Saturday night's clash against Collingwood at the Gabba and will be touch and go for the club's trip to play Melbourne at the MCG in round nine.

"I should only miss one or two (weeks)," Rockliff told RSN927 on Wednesday morning.

"It is a good result, but I don't want to rush back and have it happen again in another three weeks time."

Rockliff has played five games this season and he has been forced to leave the ground on two of those occasions because of injury.

As revealed by AFL.com.au on Tuesday, the Lions will take the opportunity to send Rockliff to a hamstring specialist to assess the reasons behind his recurring soft-tissue problems.

The Lions captain admitted it was a frustrating period in his 122-game career.

"You play two or three games and start to feel like you're on top of the ground and then get injured, go through the rehab process and then it takes a couple of games to get going again," Rockliff said.

Meanwhile, defender Harris Andrews will miss the Collingwood match after medical staff discovered he has a plantar fascia injury. 

The 19-year-old pulled up with a sore foot after last week's game against Port Adelaide and will consult specialists to review the extent of the injury. 

Lions physiotherapist Shane Lemke told the club website Andrews would definitely miss round eight and a decision on when he was likely to return would not be possible until next week. 

"We’ll review it again with a specialist early next week," Lemke said.  

Josh Green will be considered for selection if he manages to get through training, while Daniel Merrett is likely to be right to play after being struck down with gastro in Adelaide on the weekend.
