JACK Steven is set to miss the start of the 2014 AFL season after injuring his right foot at training today.



The reigning best and fairest winner will be sidelined for 8-10 weeks following a fracture in his sesamoid bone.



“Jack has been training strongly throughout the pre-season but pulled-up sore after training today,” Head of Football Chris Pelchen said.



“Scans conducted late this afternoon revealed a fracture in his right foot which is obviously disappointing for both Jack and the club on the eve of the 2014 season."



“It’s important to note that the fracture is not stress related and followed an innocuous incident during training.”



The midfielder will not require surgery and is expected to return to training in 4-5 weeks.
