CARLTON has been dealt a blow with captain Abbie McKay sidelined with a hamstring injury, while North Melbourne star Jasmine Garner could return this week.
McKay has suffered a hamstring strain and will miss three weeks in a setback for the Blues, who are 3-1.
Roos skipper Garner, meanwhile, could return earlier than expected from an ankle injury with the gun midfielder a test for Sunday's Grand Final rematch against Brisbane.
