David Zaharakis is set to miss a month of football after tearing his quadricep at training on Friday.
Watch Paul Hamilton with the news on Zaharakis here on Bomber TV ?
The Essendon midfielder was a late withdrawal in his team's match with the Sydney Swans on Saturday night, having suffered the injury 15 minutes into the club's final training session of the week.
Last year's best and fairest winner was participating in a kicking drill and left the field grabbing at the quad. He immediately appeared distressed about the injury's severity.
Essendon football manager Paul Hamilton confirmed on Saturday the injury was a ""definite tear"", and that while the club doctor was yet to properly assess the MRI scans, Zaharakis would miss at least four games.
The 22-year-old's recent form has been strong after a slow start to the year he has powered back to his best, and has averaged more than 28 disposals a game in the last six weeks.
