Scans have cleared Carlton veteran Marc Murphy of serious damage to his ankle.

The 32-year went down during a match simulation drill at Ikon Park on Monday morning and had to be taken off the field on a golf cart.

However, the club has allayed fears that he would be miss any substantial time, with scans revealing "low-grade bruising to his right foot".

The former skipper will have his training schedule modified for 1-2 weeks.
