Luke McDonald could miss the next couple of weeks with a quadriceps injury.
The defender was a late withdrawal from the side that played Port Adelaide on Sunday.
“He copped a cork recently which has unfortunately resulted in this latest quad issue,” North GM Brady Rawlings told North Media.
“Luke had a scan today which revealed a slight strain in his quad, as a result of his recent corked thigh.”
McDonald, who recently signed a new five-year contract, won North’s Syd Barker Medal in 2020.
