Relief for Blues as Curnow avoids serious knee injury

The two-time Coleman Medal winner was then sent for precautionary scans, which came back clear.

Curnow will remain on a modified training program as he builds back to full fitness after undergoing knee and ankle surgeries in the off-season.

The 28-year-old was only scheduled to take part in half of the Blues' match simulation session and looked good early, marking well and kicking a goal.

Carlton have pre-season hit-outs against St Kilda and GWS this month before starting the home-and-away season against Richmond on March 13.
