CARLTON utility Andrew Walker is still a chance to play this season according to coach Brett Ratten.
Walker undewent surgery two weeks ago to tighten his problematic right shoulder which he injured during the pre-season and reinjured in a VFL practice match in early April.
The club's official injury list has Walker out 'indefinitely' but Ratten put a clear time frame on the 22-year-old's return.
"It's probably around 12 weeks, so in the latter part of the season he'll be back," Ratten said.
"It's not closed but I suppose rehab will play a big part in that if it goes to plan.
"Hopefully he can get back as he did last year, that energy bubble we needed with about seven weeks to go."
"He gave to group a good vibe and hopefully he can do that again."
