West Coast young gun Elijah Hewett has been left to nurse a calf complaint after leaving the training track on Friday.
The ailment came prior to Hewett's chance to feature in the Eagles' match simulation session, with the club confirming the former first-round pick is dealing with calf tightness.
Hewett had copped a cork to the leg earlier in the week, with the latest issue prompting further concern for the fourth-year midfielder.
The extent of the calf injury isn't expected to significantly limit the remainder of Hewett's pre-season.
