Brisbane Lions midfielder Simon Black is expected to miss two weeks after scans on Tuesday revealed no structural damage to his knee.

The complaint saw the Brownlow Medallist subbed out of last weekend's game against North Melbourne just after half-time. 

General Manager, Football Operations Dean Warren said that it was a minor injury that would not require surgery.

“Simon had scans yesterday which really just showed a bit of wear and tear,” Warren said.

“He’ll most likely just miss a couple of weeks, which is a good result given that we have the Bye in Round 11 (next week).”

“He’ll have a break, which will be good for him, and no doubt come back firing after the Bye.”
