SYDNEY midfielder Craig Bird will be sidelined for up to three months due to a stress fracture in his foot.
The 21-year-old will not require surgery but he won't be able to resuming running for approximately six weeks.
"Whilst this is obviously not ideal, we know Craig will be back sometime in the front half of the season," Swans coach Paul Roos said.
"Craig has had a great pre-season prior to this injury which makes this particularly disappointing for him and the Club."
"At least this setback has happened early in the year so he will still have an opportunity to get back into the team and have a good season."
Taken with pick 59 in the 2007 national draft, Bird has played 36 games for Sydney.
