St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary will miss Saturday’s clash against Collingwood with a minor hamstring injury.

The skipper incurred the strain during the first quarter of Sunday night’s win over the Western Bulldogs.

Despite playing out the game, scans late yesterday revealed he will likely be sidelined for one-two weeks.

Head of Football Program David Rath said Geary’s willingness to continue to play a role for the team, despite the injury, was crucial.

“Jarryn was playing a role on one of their key playmakers, so for him to stay out there was really important for the team.”

“Unfortunately, he will miss Saturday’s clash with the Magpies but the injury is very minor and we expect him to be running by the end of the week.”
