Gold Coast star Gary Ablett will have to wait to play his 300th game after the Suns withdrew the midfielder from Sunday's clash with St Kilda.

Ablett suffered a calf injury during his side's loss to Carlton last Saturday night, and failed to recover during the week and will not take his spot on Sunday.

โ€œReally disappointing for Gary, his family and the footy clubย - waiting for his much anticipated 300thย game,โ€ Gold Coast general manager of football operations Marcus Ashcroft toldย goldcoastfc.com.au.

โ€œGary hurt his calf in last weekends game, he had been rehabbing it all week.โ€

โ€œUnfortunately today trying to complete some rehab runs, didnโ€™t get through those at all.

โ€œHeโ€™d been working really hard the last few days, we know heโ€™s the ultimate professional, and he did everything he could.โ€

Kade Kolodjashnij also won't take the field against St Kilda, after being ruled out with concussion.

Josh Schoenfeld and Trent McKenzie have been brought into the 25-man squad for Sunday's game, which will be trimmed to 22 at 5pm on Friday night.
