CARLTON midfielder Patrick Cripps and defender Simon White will have scans on their respective leg injuries suffered in the second quarter of the eight-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.

Cripps was attempting to smother a ball kicked by Jayden Hunt and instead wore a kick directly into the back of his left calf.

He was assisted off the ground by a couple of trainers and went straight down the race.

The onballer was later seen on crutches and took no further part in the game.

Meanwhile, White copped a knock to his left knee and looked proppy as he left the field late in the second quarter, also taking no further part in the rest of the game.

Coach Brendon Bolton had no further detail to give after the game.
