Collingwood players Heath Shaw and Dale Thomas both won’t be available for selection for the next two matches due to hamstring injuries.
 
Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh said it’s an unfortunate situation for both players.
 
“Heath suffered a minor hamstring injury at the end of training on Wednesday, while Dale hasn’t fully recovered from a slight hamstring disruption he sustained against Carlton last week, which is disappointing,” said Walsh.
 
“While the injuries to both players are relatively minor, because of the timing of our matches over the next two rounds, both players will be unavailable for selection against Port Adelaide and Essendon.”
 
The club will announce replacements for these players and also Luke Ball and Ben Reid, who have also been ruled out this week due to injury, when the teams are announced later on today.
