Former Melbourne captain Jack Trengove will miss the rest of the season with a broken foot.

Scans have confirmed Trengove has suffered a fractured navicular bone. Trengove had been dropped to the VFL and reported soreness in the foot after the Casey Scorpions game at the weekend.

Scans on Monday confirmed the fracture of the navicular and he will now have surgery this week to repair the problem.

He will miss four months which will rule him out for the rest of the season but should see him return for the start of pre-season
