Collingwood Magpie Andrew Krakouer has been given four weeks leave to deal with a range of personal issues.
An agreement was reached by both parties to allow the 29-year old, who was brought back to the AFL after time in a Western Australian prison, to work through his issues, without the pressure associated with his normal training and playing commitments.
“The issues that Andrew is dealing with are of a personal nature, and we will be supporting him in every way possible during this period,” Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh said.
“Andrew is held in high regard at Collingwood and we look forward to his return to team training in due course.”
Andrew will be given a revised training program during this period, that will maintain his fitness and ball skills, but will not require him to be part of normal training sessions.
He will be given every opportunity and support to put himself in a position to return to the senior squad and play a meaningful role in the club’s 2012 campaign.
