Josh Kelly and Phil Davis have been sidelined following injuries sustained over the weekend.

Vice-captain Kelly suffered a hamstring strain during Sunday’s loss to the Saints, with the midfielder picking up the injury in the second quarter but playing out the game.

GIANTS Head of Medical James Rahme said the strain will sideline the star for a month.

“It’s disappointing for Josh, who has had a great season so far,” Rahme said.

“He did remarkably well to play through considering, with scans revealing a strain on Monday.”

Meanwhile, veteran Davis will miss over a month with a calf injury sustained in the VFL on Sunday.

“It’s a frustrating setback for Phil, who has done everything right to get back on the field in recent weeks,” Rahme said.

“As usual, his attitude has been exemplary and he was a great asset to help the younger players during a tight game even after his injury.

“He’s already straight back into his rehab and we’re looking forward to his return.”

Forward Harry Himmelberg and defender Nick Haynes will both miss this week after suffering concussions in Sunday’s match. The duo will work through the 12-day concussion protocols in a bid to be available for round 12.

The GIANTS take on Geelong in Geelong this Saturday while the VFL have a bye.
