Scans have confirmed Scott Pendlebury sustained a rib fracture during the second quarter of Sunday’s Gather Round match.

The 388-gamer will be monitored across Collingwood’s bye week and will be assessed to determine his availability for the Magpies’ Round Six clash against Port Adelaide. A further update will be provided next week.

Nathan Kreuger has suffered a setback in his return and is set to miss a further two to four weeks. The 24-year-old had been cleared to play after recovering from the hamstring injury he sustained during pre-season but suffered a minor calf strain during training last week that will delay his return.

Young ruck Oscar Steene is progressing through the concussion protocols as recovers from a knock to the face in pre-season. The 20-year-old will be assessed for contact training early this week and will likely be available for selection in Collingwood’s VFL clash against Carlton on Sunday.

Nathan Murphy (concussion), Harry DeMattia (finger), Josh Eyre (hamstring) and Dan McStay (knee) are all continuing to progress through their individual rehabilitation plans across the Club’s AFL Bye week.
