ESSENDON ruckman Jason Laycock has suffered a recurrence of a foot injury and could miss the the rest of the season.
Laycock pulled up sore after playing his first game for the season in the VFL two weeks ago.
"He's training and he was playing with discomfort again," Bombers coach Matthew Knights said on Tuesday.
"He hasn't been able to get a run at it which is most frustrating because he would have been perfect to come in in this situation."
"It could be a serious where we sit down and say, 'that could be it for the year'."
"I don't think it's in anyone's best interests to push a player that's not able to put weight through a foot."
"We'll sit down later this week and make a final decision on Jason Laycock's future for the 2009 season which I must admit, to be frank, is looking probably not so bright."
In some good news for the Dons, Knights said Bellchambers' knee injury sustained in the 64-point loss to Geelong at Etihad Stadium on Sunday isn't as serious as first thought and he may only miss three to four games rather than six.
Knights ruled out promoting Christian Bock, whom he described as a development player, to support Patrick Ryder who has been forced to become the club's number one ruckman after David Hille suffered a season-ending knee injury on Anzac Day.
