Carlton’s Caleb Marchbank will miss Saturday night’s clash against North Melbourne due to an ankle injury.

The defender is set to be sidelined for the next four weeks, after coming off midway through the first term in the Blues’ loss to Collingwood.

“He obviously didn’t play the whole game and went off injured with that ankle. There’s not a whole lot of damage there thankfully but he will be out for around four weeks,” Carlton’s Head of Football Andrew McKay told the club’s website.

Jack Silvagni, Cameron O’Shea and Sam Kerridge are considered among those in line for a call-up for the Blundstone Arena fixture.
