Crows<\/a> they have cleared the West Australian of serious injury, confirming his strain was a low-grade one.<\/p>\nCrows high performance boss Ian McKeown said Ah Chee was still a chance to take on the Magpies at the MCG next month. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for Cal, but we\u2019re optimistic about his chances of being ready to go for our Round One match against Collingwood,\u201d McKeown said.<\/p>\n
Wingman Isaac Cumming ran laps at training on Monday after he reported hamstring awareness during the Crows\u2019 internal trial in Port Augusta on Friday. <\/p>\n
Despite the injury to the club\u2019s gun recruit, Crows chairman John Olsen said State of Origin was back and the former premier hoped South Australia would be involved as early as next year. <\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t actually pick up Callum\u2019s injury until he was shown sitting on the bench with the ice pack and then you heart sort of sinks a bit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it is back, it is back to stay and that is a good thing for footy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would certainly hope so, the traditional South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria.<\/p>\n
\u201cTasmania ought to get a look in at some stage but they are the traditional footy states, that is where State of Origin really has traction.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo South Australia, based on its performance in State of Origin over the journey deserves to be back in the mix.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I would hope that is next year.\u201d <\/p>\n
