Collingwoodโs Chris Mayne finished his 200th game very shortly after it began. After only five minutes of play, the Collingwood veteran copped a knee to his back from Western Bulldogโs Mitch Wallis, leaving him to spend Friday night in the hospital.
Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has confirmed that scans revealed a small fracture in Mayneโs back which will see him sidelined for a few weeks.
"He's really sore. The thing that causes the discomfort and pain is the spasms that happen around that injury," Buckley told SEN.
"He'll miss a couple of weeks and it will be how he comes to hand.
"How freely he can move over the next couple of weeks."
Collingwood will travel to the Gabba to face the Lions without Mayne this Thursday as they look to follow up with another win after their victory against the Dogs.
