NORTH MELBOURNE key forward Nathan Thompson looks set to miss Friday night's crucial clash against Geelong at Telstra Dome.
Thompson, who pulled up with knee soreness after last weekend’s 31-point loss to Brisbane, was cleared of any structural damage but failed to complete a training session this morning, leaving the field after 10 minutes.
Kangaroos Roos chairman James Brayshaw said Thompson would struggle to play this weekend.
“I think he’s going to battle. I’m not saying he won’t play, but from what I’ve seen of him, he’s got some chronic soreness that may impede his progress,” he said.
“We’ve got another 24 hours … so we’re hoping he’ll come up. But a short week and a very good opponent; we’ll have our fingers crossed."
