Blues forward out for up to eight weeks

Carlton forward Levi Casboult will miss the next 6-8 weeks due to a hairline fracture in his left leg.

Casboult suffered the injury in the opening minutes of the Blues' two-point win over Port Adelaide on Sunday.

Despite the long lay off, it is in fact a positive result for the Blues, with it initially looking as though Casboult had severely injured his knee.

The injury does not require surgery.

More to come.
