MELBOURNE'S pre-season has suffered a blow with news co-captain Jack Trengove will have to spend the next six weeks in a moon boot.
Scans revealed the early onset of a stress fracture in the 22-year-old's left foot, meaning Trengove will be forced to not only miss the club's nine-day training camp to the Northern Territory, but is also likely to be on a modified program when the Dees resume in the new year.
"This is clearly a disappointing setback for Jack," Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said.
"The positive element to this is that the stress fracture was identified early, which will allow Jack to begin his rehab immediately.
"We expect Jack to be able to begin his running program in January. His rehab will be continually assessed but at this stage we are hopeful that he'll be available for the start of the AFL season."
Melbourne leave today for a nine-day camp in the NT, returning on December 14.
Trengove tweeted this morning he was "shattered" to miss the camp.
"Thanks for all of the support guys. Not quite the news I was hoping for, that's footy sometimes.. Now to come back bigger & strong for 2013!"
