Another injury setback for Joe Daniher – SEN

Essendon key forward Joe Daniher has suffered another injury setback in his never-ending quest to return to senior football.
The former All-Australian has suffered a calf strain while training which will push his timeline back by at least two to three weeks.
Essendon head of medical services David Rundle provided the update.
During our rehabilitation skills session on the weekend, unfortunately Joe felt some soreness in the calf, and we had that imaged (scanned) yesterday which confirmed a minor calf strain so that will mean he is off running for about 10 to 14 days, Rundle told the clubs website.
Daniher had been in full training and was nearing an AFL return.
Defender Conor McKenna remains a chance to play this weekend, despite fracturing his hand against the Kangaroos.
As we know, Conor fractured his hand during our game against North Melbourne. He is a pretty tough character and managed to play out the game, so hell have surgery today where theyll insert a plate to reduce that fracture, Rundle said.
Obviously, this week is a tight turnaround ahead of our game on Friday night so well see how he responds to the operation and well assess his functional ability later in the week before we decide whether he can play or not.
Essendon takes on the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.
