“Our whole Club feels for Jarrod who has worked so hard to get himself back into our AFL program over the last month,” Carlton Head of Football Brad Lloyd told the club's website.
“While the news is disappointing, as a Club we will be there with Jarrod through every stage of his recovery and ensure he gets back out on the field in navy blue.
“Our playing group is very resilient and take every challenge in their stride. This challenge now presents an opportunity for a younger player to step up and seize their opportunity.”
