MELBOURNE’S concerning injury list has grown again, with two star midfielders in doubt for next week’s clash against Carlton.

Prime mover Jack Viney sat out the second half of Friday night’s loss to Sydney at the MCG after succumbing to a plantar fascia injury in his foot.

But it was revealed on Saturday morning that fellow on-baller Dom Tyson is in doubt for the Blues clash with a knee injury.

Tyson couldn’t even drive his car to recovery at Melbourne on Saturday due to his injury, which he picked up during the final 30 seconds of the Swans clash.

The midfielder will undergo a scan to determine the severity of his injury.

Viney arrived at club headquarters on Saturday morning supported by crutches and also underwent scans.

“I’ve had a bit of trouble with my foot all year and then it was no good on the weekend,” Viney told reporters on Saturday morning.

“We’ll get a scan today, see what’s happened and go from there.”

Coach Simon Goodwin admitted on Friday night that the initial prognosis for Viney wasn’t positive.

“Whether it’s a tear or a partial tear, we’ll get that assessed. Clearly it’s not looking great for him,” Goodwin said.

“It’s disappointing again to lose another player but once again that creates opportunity for others.”

The timing couldn’t be much worse for Melbourne, who have already lost Viney’s co-captain Nathan Jones, Jesse Hogan, Jack Watts, Jeff Garlett and Christian Salem to injuries.

Watts revealed on Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight on Friday night that he would miss Melbourne’s Round 16 clash against Carlton with a hamstring issue after suffering a setback at training.

Hogan and Garlett are each a slim chance to return to face the Blues.

In another blow for the Demons, veteran midfielder Jones confirmed he is at least four weeks off returning from his quad injury.

The 29-year-old said he would take a cautious approach with his recovery, having never previously experienced a significant soft tissue injury.

“Because it’s on my kicking leg as well, there is a little bit of risk or uncertainty in terms of the healing process,” he told Channel 7.

“I’m just going to leave no stone unturned there, and probably not push it as hard as I normally would.

“At this stage it looks like maybe a month away.”
