When he sustained the injury five weeks ago, Walsh said that Didak’s complete tear of the muscle would allow a full attachment to take place that would not require surgery.
In further good news for the Magpies, premiership defender Ben Johnson is now listed as being 3-4 weeks away from a return to football after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction following the round six victory over the Western Bulldogs.
Walsh said that Johnson is progressing well.
“We hope he might be back in about a month”.
