ADELAIDE forward Trent Hentschel has suffered a setback in his return to AFL football.
Hentschel, who has not played an AFL match since suffering a horrific knee injury in late 2006, was on course to push for selection for this weekend's match against Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday afternoon following a stint in the SANFL.
However the 25-year-old reported hamstring tightness to Adelaide medical staff following his game for Woodville-West Torrens on the weekend and subsequent checks showed the strain.
Adelaide fitness manager Stephen Schwerdt said Hentschel would probably be sidelined for a week.
In some good news for the Crows, dual Brownlow medallist Andrew McLeod has recovered well from surgery on his right knee and is expected to resume running later this week.
