Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer will miss the start of the AFL season due to a foot injury.
Scans have revealed a hairline fracture of the fifth metatarsal in Kreuzer's right foot, with the 25-year-old to be in a moon-boot for up to six weeks before the break will be reassessed.
Kreuzer played only one match in 2014 due to a right foot injury.
The club says the current issue is in a different spot, with football manager Andrew McKay tipping Kreuzer won't miss too many games.
"It's exceptionally disappointing for Matthew given all the hard work he has put in to get his body back to peak shape," McKay said.
"But we're confident he will play the majority of the season."
Kreuzer's current contact ends after the 2015 season and he is yet to re-sign with the Blues.
