Mitch McGovern Withdraws from Match Against St Kilda
Carlton Football Club has announced that defender Mitch McGovern will not be participating in the upcoming match against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium due to a hamstring injury.
Initially named in the squad of 23 players, McGovern was later replaced by Orazio Fantasia in a move that underscores the team’s ongoing struggle with injuries.
The Blues are entering this crucial clash without key players, including star forwards Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay, amplifying the significance of this match for the team’s finals aspirations.
Currently holding a record of 13 wins and 9 losses, Carlton aims to secure a victory today which would ensure their place within the top eight. A loss, however, could jeopardize their position, particularly with Fremantle positioned to potentially overtake them later in the day.
For St Kilda, who have experienced some recent success with five wins out of their last seven games, the match serves as an opportunity to conclude their season positively with additional scoring power demonstrated in previous games.
The match is scheduled to commence at 3:20 PM AEST at Marvel Stadium, with high stakes for both teams as they seek to conclude the season on a strong note.
