“Darcy underwent scans on his left hamstring this morning and the results have shown a low-grade hamstring strain which he sustained during the first quarter of last night’s game,” Pies' footy boss Graham Wright said.
 
“He will miss the next couple of matches, and at this stage, we expect him to return to the field for our first final.


 
“Darcy is an ultimate professional and will work closely with our medical team who will support him through his recovery.
 
“While we will miss his on-field leadership over the next couple of weeks, his absence provides an opportunity for another player on our list to make an impact.”

It's another injury blow for the ladder-leading Pies with finals just around the corner, after second-year sensation Nick Daicos was ruled out for up to six weeks due to a knee injury sustained last round.
