Jack Viney has been cleared of any severe injury to his knee after sending a scare by means of the Demons camp on Wednesday when he limped off the monitor at Casey Fields.
The Melbourne vice-captain isn’t anticipated to overlook the beginning of the home-and-away season as a result of damage.
Melbourne soccer efficiency boss Alan Richardson mentioned the 28-year-old could be placed on “light duties” and would miss the Dees’ remaining pre-season hitout in opposition to Richmond on Saturday afternoon.
“We sent Jack for scans and pleasingly there isn’t any significant damage to his knee,” Richardson mentioned.
“We will have a better idea of his rehabilitation progress over the next week.
“While he will miss this weekend’s practice match against Richmond, we don’t anticipate him to be further impacted ahead of the season.”
Viney had moved freely on Friday at RSEA Park as he performed in Melbourne’s complete 59-point win over St Kilda.
The Demons will host Richmond at Casey Fields on Saturday, with the groups to be named on Friday night time.
