Pendlebury could miss rest of season with his playing future undecided
Scott Pendlebury's glittering Collingwood career could be over after the AFL/VFL games record holder suffered a hamstring injury.
Pendlebury faces up to a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury, sidelining him from the Collingwood's upcoming AFL wildcard weekend match. The 38-year-old, who holds the V/AFL games record, is currently undecided about his future in 2027. Collingwood is set to play in the AFL's inaugural wildcard weekend next weekend. The club's other star defender, Brayden Maynard, suffered a knee injury during training and is now doubtful for the rest of the season.
Both injuries are significant setbacks for the Magpies, especially with AFL finals commencing the following week. Collingwood's boss, Charlie Gardiner, reassured that both players are professionals and will work diligently to recover. Pendlebury, who was substituted during Friday night's 63-point loss to Brisbane, sustained a hamstring strain.
If he returns, Collingwood will need to carefully manage his playing time, considering their premiership hopes.
