Geelong midfielder Cam Guthrie will likely miss his side's clash with North Melbourne on Sunday as he continues to battle with calf problems.
Guthrie was withdrawn from Geelong's round one side to faceย Fremantle on the Friday before the match with the same issue.
โItโs still early in our preparation, so itโs hard to get clarity,โ Geelong coach Chris Scott said.
โBut, one thing's for sure, we will be really conservative with him.
โHeโs had a couple of minor issues. Itโs two in a month now.
โWe would treat all our players cautiously in these circumstances, but heโs been a very, very good player for us and we need to make sure when he comes back heโs ready to perform at 100 per cent.
โNow that involves conditioning as well given heโs missed a fair portion of training.โ
