Jamison to miss three months

RELIABLE Carlton defender Michael Jamison will miss up to three montths with stress fractures in his back.

His horror run with injuries continued this week after missing a chunk of last season, where the Blues missed him in defence.

“If it was a stress fracture of that area, you’re looking at eight to 12 weeks,” Blues football manager Andrew McKay told SEN on Wednesday afternoon.

“Jamo will be back playing in probably the third round of the NAB Cup, halfway through the series, so he’s looking at six weeks.

“It really means two weeks of taking the weight off the back and then building up slowly from there. He’ll get a couple of games under his belt before round one, which is good.

“Certainly if you let them go a little bit further and they develop into the full blown stress fractures, then you may have some trouble down the track but certainly for a reaction like this, there shouldn’t be any recurrence at all.”
