The Gold Coast Suns will be without star duo David Swallow and Lachie Weller for this Saturday’s clash with North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena.

Swallow was subbed out in the first quarter of the loss to Port Adelaide with a concussion, while Weller suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a number of weeks.

“He’ll [Swallow] go through the relevant concussion protocols and miss this game, hopefully do everything right and keep tracking well to be available the week after,” Suns Head Physiotherapist Lindsay Bull said.

“It’s probably in the lower end of hamstring injuries in terms of how bad they can be. That’ll likely be a couple of weeks missed for Lachie,” Bull added.

Key defender Sam Collins also unlikely to be fit for the trip south.

“It’s improving slowly, but with Sam missing the last couple of weeks he needs a little block of training before being available for selection again. We’ll keep monitoring him week-to-week.”
