Carlton's shocking injury run has continued, with dynamic young forward Charlie Curnow the latest to join the Blues' long injury list.
Curnow rolled an ankle at training on Tuesday and will miss this week's game against Adelaide.
Scans confirmed the injury was not serious, and the Blues had hoped he would get up for this week. But the ankle has not recovered in time for Curnow to play.
Ruckman Matthew Kreuzer is expected to be fit for this week's game and be named in the team later on Thursday, while the Blues remain hopeful captain Marc Murphy could be fit to return in one to two weeks.

JESSE Hogan was absent from Melbourne's main training session on Thursday morning but coach Simon Goodwin expects the key forward to face St Kilda on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.
Meanwhile, fellow Demons star Christian Petracca was on light duties as he continues to build up his training program following surgery on the middle finger on his left hand after suffering a dog bite.
Melbourne expects he too will play.

a tackle is a tackle, their is nothing in the rule book that says how much force can or can't be used, whether it is someone 100 + kg tackling someone who is 80 + should not matter
from memory the umpire paid a free kick and said you should have rolled him, nothing said about the force of the tackle
surely we won't get to the stage where we go sorry player a you tackled him too strongly, free kick against
