Crows defender Nick Murray will be sidelined for the next 2-3 weeks after jarring his knee at training yesterday.

Murray landed awkwardly during a marking drill and had scans on his left knee last night.

While cleared of any structural damage, the 24-year-old is reporting some soreness and the Club will take a conservative approach to his recovery.

"Nick will be off legs for the next week, then resume running before reintegrating into main training after that," High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.

"It's unfortunate that he will miss some football but at the same time we are relieved that he has avoided a more serious injury.

"The next week will allow him time to recover before resuming running and preparing to return to play."
