NORTH Melbourne ruckman Todd Goldstein has been withdrawn from Sunday's clash against Geelong with an ankle injury.

Braydon Preuss, who made his debut last week, comes into the team in the Kangaroos' only change.

Geelong has named an unchanged team 90 minutes before the first bounce at Etihad Stadium.

Goldstein hurt an ankle in one of the last drills of Friday's training session and was seen on crutches.

He underwent a fitness test before Sunday's VFL practice match between Werribee and Northern Blues.

AFL.com.au understands it is only a minor injury and Goldstein would play in round three against Greater Western Sydney.
