The Brisbane Lions can confirm that full-forward Brendan Fevola suffered a groin muscle tear during last Saturday night's match against Melbourne at the Gabba.
Fevola is expected to miss at least four matches which effectively rules him out for the remainder of this season.
The news was better for Xavier Clarke who hurt his hamstring early in the second quarter against the Demons.
"I think it’s only really going to cost him one week so that’s some good news from our end," Senior Coach Michael Voss said.
"Hopefully we can still get a couple of games into him before the end of the season."
