Carlton father-son prospect Cody Walker is set to miss Vic Country's second game of the Under-18s National Championships.
Walker failed to play out Vic Country's first game due to an AC joint shoulder injury, which will sideline him for Friday's clash with Western Australia.
He is set to return next Wednesday for Vic Country's clash with South Australia.
Meanwhile, Noah Williams, who also failed to play out that game due to hamstring tightness, is set to play on Friday after scans came back positive.
Williams and Walker shared best afield honours in the Under-17s Futures game last year and have put together formidable CVs in 2026.
Walker, the son of Carlton's Andrew shapes as a top three prospect and has played VFL games for Carlton this year. He has also trained extensively with the Blues.
Williams is a top 10 prospect from Geelong Falcons who can play as a midfielder or half-back. He has averaged 23 disposals and six inside 50s at Talent League level this year.
