C\ufeffollingwood<\/a> defender Nathan Murphy will not take part in any upcoming practice matches as he continues his recovery from concussion, the AFL club has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\"Nathan<\/p>\n

Murphy lay on the ground before \ufeffbeing seen to by club medical staff and taken off the track for assessment. He later re-joined the group for the remainder of the session.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old also suffered a match-ending concussion in the opening quarter of the Magpies' four-point grand final win over Brisbane last September.<\/p>\n

In December, he was cleared to resume his career<\/a> after undergoing an assessment by the AFL's medical concussion panel.<\/p>\n

"Nathan's welfare, like the welfare of all our athletes and people, remains paramount," Collingwood football boss Graham Wright said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

"The last game Nathan played was the 2023 grand final and Nathan, together with everyone at the club, have since worked closely with him on his individual training program.<\/p>\n

"Nathan will continue his individual program over the pre-season period and will return to match simulation when he is ready to do so."<\/p>\n

Murphy\ufeff has been concussed several times across his career and it appears his concussion scare at \ufefftraining has had an impact on his attitude in game-like scenarios.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

"I feel great and have the right support around me.<\/p>\n

"I am enjoying coming into the club, learning and participating in all the meetings, and taking part in training, all of the conditioning and gym work.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

"The club continues to support me through this and I hope people can understand and respect that."<\/p>\n

Collingwood has a match simulation scheduled with North Melbourne on Wednesday, February 21.<\/p>\n

The club will then face Richmond in their official pre-season game at Ikon Park on Tuesday, February 27 before their opening round match against GWS on Saturday, March 9.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
