Scans have cleared Collingwood midfielder Sharrod Wellingham of serious injury after he received a knock above the knee during Saturday’s 48-point win over Carlton.
The 22-year-old has bone bruising and will be treated symptomatically throughout the week. He will be given the opportunity to train depending on how he pulls up later in the week, but has not been ruled out of Saturday night’s clash with Geelong.
Wellingham sat out the entire second half after being one the Magpies’ best in the first half against the Blues, when he gathered 19 possessions, had five tackles and kicked one goal.
He has been a vital part of the Collingwood midfield in 2010, having played 16 games for a career total of 44.
