CibbuanoInjury blow for Pies
September 7th 2009 02:39
COLLINGWOOD has suffered a massive blow ahead of Saturday night's knockout semi-final against Adelaide at the MCG with scans confirming that star midfielder Scott Pendlebury has a fractured fibula.
Pendelbury suffered the injury early in the first quarter of the Magpies' 28-point loss to St Kilda in Sunday's first qualifying final.
The 21-year-old has undergone surgery to repair a cracked bone in his leg and is an outside chance to play again this season but only if the Pies make the grand final.
Meanwhile, veteran forward Anthony Rocca is in doubt for the clash against the Crows after re-injuring his ankle against the Saints.
