\n Aidan Corr’s pre-season has been interrupted, while recruit Charlie Spargo continues to work towards unrestricted training\n <\/p>\n
Aidan Corr has suffered a moderate-grade calf strain, which will push back his preparation for the club\u2019s practice games against Melbourne and Collingwood.<\/p>\n
It’ll be a 4\u20136-week setback for the veteran defender, who managed 10 games at the highest level in the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
“We’ll program a more graduated return to group training for Aidan given both the grade of strain and his history of calf injuries,” North Melbourne head of performance Kevin White said.<\/p>\n
Off-season recruit Charlie Spargo (shoulder) continues to build through drills in a non-contact capacity until he can clear strength and function tests.<\/p>\n
The small forward will look to return to unrestricted training sessions towards the end of February.<\/p>\n
Ruck-forward Callum Coleman-Jones is battling a minor calf strain which he picked up during a high-loading conditioning session over the Christmas break.<\/p>\n
“Callum’s recovered well and is progressing through his running reload phase since returning to the club,” White said.<\/p>\n
“The plan is to build out his football function and running intensity over the next 1-2 weeks and then reintegrate into main group skills again.”<\/p>\n
