CARLTON speedster Chris Yarran has suffered a calf injury and will take no further part in the Blues' clash with Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium.

 

Just 10 minutes into the first term, Yarran limped off the field and immediately went down into the Blues rooms.

 

He was soon substituted out of the contest and was replaced by promising midfielder Nick Graham.

The Suns also lost player to injury with veteran midfielder Michael Rischitelli substituted out with a hip injury.

Rischitelli copped a knock in opening minutes and limped to the bench for treatment, but wasn't substituted out of the game until late in the second term.

He was replaced by livewire forward Brandon Matera, who returned the Suns' line-up after six weeks out with an ankle injury.
