ESSENDON has been dealt a blow ahead of tomorrow's clash against Sydney at ANZ Stadium with midfielder Jobe Watson a late withdrawal.
Bombers assistant coach Gary O'Donnell last night said Watson received a knock to his back during the week and was not available for selection.
Tom Hislop replaces him in the starting 18, with elevated rookie Jarrod Atkinson, who had been omitted from the side that lost to Port Adelaide, promoted from emergency.
"(The knock) just blew up a little bit and was hindering him. It's something minor and should only keep (him) out for a week," O'Donnell said.
