Carlton's high performance director Andrew Russell revealed the pair won't require surgery but will miss the next six weeks of action.
โJack Martin was your classic PCL mechanism of knee-on-knee. Initially, he wasnโt too bad coming out of the game but heโs had some swelling,โ Russell toldย Carlton Media.ย

โThatโs going to require him to be on the sidelines for somewhere around six weeks.
โFisherโs is the opposite to his syndesmosis ankle last yearโฆ heโs got some bone stress. We think heโs at this stage heโs going to miss around six weeks of footy and then weโll see him back out there.โ
Russell also revealed that forward Jack Silvagni is likely to return from a shoulder injury for the Blues' clash against Fremantle on Sunday.
