with Moore’s injury having taken longer to recover from than first anticipated.<\/a><\/p>\nHe is currently in modified training, and is set to return to running next week.<\/p>\n
When he suffered the injury two weeks ago, the skipper had initially been sidelined for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Collingwood has a hefty injury list, but a host of players are set to return to full training in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
Veterans Jeremy Howe (calf) and Dan McStay (hamstring) are two weeks away, with the latter having now completely overcome the shoulder injury he sustained last year.<\/p>\n
Dan Houston (hip) has returned to non-contact work, and is only 1-2 weeks from full training, as is fellow rebounder Isaac Quaynor (hamstring), who was running strongly on the sidelines last Friday.<\/p>\n
The most serious injury concern is Beau McCreery, who underwent foot surgery over the off-season.<\/p>\n
At a 4-6 return timeframe, the tenacious forward is a chance to miss the opening game or two of the premiership season as he rebuilds his training loads.<\/p>\n
Lachie Sullivan rounds out the injured group with his own calf complaint, but is 2-3 weeks from a return.<\/p>\n
Collingwood has superstar Nick Daicos and reigning best and fairest Darcy Cameron participating in the upcoming 2026 AAMI Origin match, before the Pies take on Greater Western Sydney in a match simulation on February 20.<\/p>\n
They will then face North Melbourne in the AAMI Community Series on March 1 before facing the Saints at the MCG a week later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Collingwood skipper taking longer than expected to recover from calf injury Darcy Moore marks the ball during the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-445976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-text","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
