Collingwood hope to regain Darcy Moore before the end of the AFL season, despite his latest hamstring injury.
Moore was hurt in Saturday night's loss to Sydney and scans on Monday confirmed the key defender has strained his right hamstring.
"The significance of the injury being in the right leg is that it is not related to Darcy's recent history," Collingwood' football manager Geoff Walsh said on the club website.
"It is a new injury, to the opposite leg Darcy has recently had issues with, which means that it can be treated as a standard hamstring strain.
"Darcy will now get into his rehabilitation program and look to be back before our season concludes."
Injuries have restricted Moore to only seven games this season.
There are three more games and the bye before Collingwood play in their first finals series since 2013.
