Melbourne youngster Jay Kennedy-Harris will miss the next four to six weeks with a hamstring injury.

It is the third hamstring injury the 21-year-old has suffered this year alone.

“Jay had a minor tweak at training last week,” Melbourne elite performance manager Dave Misson told the club's website.

“We don’t think it’s too serious, but it’s his third one in six months, so we’re going to have a bit of a look at what we’re doing there and make sure we set up Jay to have a good back half of the season.

“He’s probably four to six weeks away.”

Meanwhile, defender Lynden Dunn will miss one more week with his hamstring injury, Misson confirmed.

“He’s going really well. He’ll play in a week and he’s rehabbing well,” he said.

“He’s back at training this week.”
