General Manager of Football Simon Lethlean said Carlisle would hopefully just miss the clash with Port Adelaide.
“There is a small risk in treating rib injuries that this type of complication can occur,” Lethlean said.
“We’d love to have them both out there this weekend but the reality is they won’t be, and we will need guys to step up and fill the void.
“We have seen a host of young players take their opportunity over the course of the season, and we need this to continue this week.”
