Collingwood recruit Daniel Wells has confirmed the news that he is still dealing with his troublesome calf.

A variety of lower leg injuries  kept the Wangkathaa man (pictured) off the paddock for extended periods in the last couple of seasons but did improve in 2016, playing 19 games before shocking the Roos and signing with Collingwood at the end of the season.

After Wells left the training track on Friday morning, the club initially denied he’d suffered an injury but while he didn’t elaborate on the nature of the injury,  he says its nothing more than a minor niggle and will continue training, albeit on a modified program.
