ESSENDON youngster Scott Gumbleton looks set to miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his collarbone in the second half of the Bendigo Bombers' clash with Geelong on Sunday afternoon.
Scans confirmed the fracture, and the highly-rated 19-year-old is likely to undergo surgery later in the week to have a plate inserted, according to the club's website.
Gumbleton, who was taken with the No. 2 pick in the 2006 National Draft has been plagued by injuries, managing just five senior games last season with a hamstring complaint keeping him on the sidelines.
This year, more trouble with his hamstrings, as well as issues with his knee, had kept him to just one match prior to Sunday.
Gumbleton recently signed a two-year deal with the Bombers which will see him remain at the club until at least the end of 2010.
