PORT ADELAIDE youngster Hamish Hartlett is likely to miss the majority of the Power's NAB Cup campaign after suffering a hamstring injury at training.
The promising 19-year-old midfielder, who was taken with pick four in the 2008 national draft, was restricted to just 11 games during his debut season due to hamstring problems.
Port fitness coach Cameron Falloon said he expects Hartlett to be fit for the season opener against North Melbourne.
"He has done a standard hammy but it is different to the previous ones he has had," Falloon said.
"It will be a four-weeker so he won't be around for the start of the NAB Cup but could play at some stage. He has to go through the rehabilitation process and will have two months to get himself right for round one."
