Collingwood has copped a double injury blow, with both ruckman Brodie Grundy and midfielder Taylor Adams set to miss up to three weeks.
Grundy was taken to hospital as a precaution after complaining of neck soreness in Saturday’s loss to Geelong, with the Pies confirming he suffered a pinched nerve after a “whiplash incident”.
He is set to miss 2-3 weeks as a result of the injury.
Meanwhile, Adams, who has only just returned from a medial ligament setback, will also miss up to three weeks after scans revealed he picked up a “minor tear” in last week’s game against Port Adelaide.
In better news for the club, Jamie Elliott is available for selection after overcoming a leg injury that’s kept him sidelined since Round 2.
