North can confirm Mason Wood will miss the next six to eight weeks with a hamstring injury.
Wood was injured during main training on Friday at Arden Street and scans revealed a strain.
"Mason will start his rehabilitation program straight away," GM Football Cameron Joyce said.
"We're obviously hoping to have him available as quickly as possible but every step will be taken to ensure he can recover properly and then have an impact for us for the remainder of the year once he's cleared to play."
The club will keep its members updated throughout Mason's recovery process.
