"A FITNESS cloud surrounds Carlton star Patrick Cripps after the midfielder suffered a fractured jaw in Sunday's loss to Melbourne.
AFL.com.au revealed Cripps' injury is at the minor end and will be assessed this week ahead of Sunday's clash against Essendon at the MCG. The fracture is not displaced.
Carlton confirmed the injury later on Monday and said it would monitor his fitness.
"Patrick had scans last night which confirmed a small hairline fracture in his jaw," Blues football manager Andrew McKay said in a statement.
"Given his jaw is stable and not displaced, we will assess him further over the coming days to determine whether he will be available to play this Sunday against the Bombers."
