GIANTS player Brett Deledio has suffered a minor setback, straining his calf at training.

The grade one strain is to Deledio's left calf - not the right calf he's had recurring issues with this year.

The GIANTS medical staff will map out the best course of treatment in the coming days and therefore the club is not in a position to put a timeline on Deledio's return to the field at present.

The GIANTS play Carlton at Etihad Stadium at 3.20pm today.
