April 30th 2009 02:23
BRISBANE midfielder Bradd Dalziell is expected to miss just six weeks with a minor tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Dalziell sustained the injury in the last quarter of the 93-point loss to Geelong at Skilled Stadium last Sunday.
The Lions intially feared that Dalziell would be out for up to three months with posterior cruciate ligament damage but the club's medical staff revealed on Wednesday the prolific ball winner had only suffered a minor tear.
Meanwhile, young ruckman Bart McCulloch will be out for four to six weeks with a grade one quad tear.
McCulloch injured his quad in his first game for the Lions reserves last weekend.
