Essendon's Jake Carlisle is expected to miss two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury in training.

Essendon forward Jake Carlisle is expected to be sidelined for up to two weeks after suffering a slight hamstring strain.

The 22 year-old was sent for scans after complaining of tightness during training.

Bombers general manager football performance Neil Craig said in a statement that Carlisle remained upbeat.

"Jake pulled up a little tight during a training drill and scans revealed he'd strained his hamstring," he said.

"On the positive side of things we are fortunate the strain is on the minor scale."
