Scott Pendlebury Faces Potential End to Career After Hamstring Injury

Scott Pendlebury, a veteran player for Collingwood, will be sidelined for up to three weeks due to a hamstring injury, as confirmed by the club. This injury will prevent him from participating in the upcoming wildcard round of the AFL finals.

The 38-year-old, who holds the record for the most games played in the AFL/VFL, sustained the injury during a recent match against Brisbane. Initially thought to be a knee issue, scans revealed a hamstring strain that has significant implications for his career.

In addition to Pendlebury's injury, Collingwood defender Brayden Maynard is also facing uncertainty after suffering a knee injury during training, which may keep him out for the remainder of the season. Collingwood's football boss expressed disappointment over these setbacks, emphasizing the professionalism of both players as they work towards recovery.
