Jordan De Goey has sent a major scare through Collingwood after hurting his leg at AFL pre-season training.
Two trainers had to help the star forward from the field at the Holden Centre on Friday morning.
He went to ground in agony after hurting his lower left leg in a marking contest during a match simulation session.
There was no immediate word from Collingwood but De Goey will go for scans.
He enjoyed a breakout season last year, kicking 48 goals in 21 games and playing a pivotal role in the Magpies’ resurgence.
Twelve of his goals came during the finals series, including three in the five-point grand final loss to West Coast.
De Goey also missed two games late last season because of a lower leg injury.
His injury comes two days after North Melbourne defender Robbie Tarrant needed surgery after injuring his right AC joint during an intraclub hitout.
Reigning Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell has been the most serious pre-season casualty, suffering a broken leg that will sideline him for this season.
Newly-appointed Carlton co-captain Sam Docherty also needed another knee reconstruction after he played no games last season.
