Collingwood defender Nathan Murphy will not take part in any upcoming practice matches as he continues his recovery from concussion, the AFL club has confirmed.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Magpies revealed that Murphy will remain on a modified training program in the wake of an incident during match simulation last month.
The 24-year-old also suffered a match-ending concussion during the Magpies’ four-point grand final win over Brisbane last year.
“The club has been terrific in the way they have managed me but the reality is knowing the way I play the game, I have been finding it difficult to get myself in the right frame of mind to participate in match simulation,” Murphy said in a statement on Monday.
“It is important for me and everyone around me to ensure I am in the right frame of mind to be able to return to match simulation and AFL matches which I have every intention of doing.”
