Judd Good To Go

DreamTeam coaches can breathe a big sigh of relief after Carlton confirmed star midfielder Chris Judd would be fine to face Essendon next round.

Judd sustained a broken nose in Friday night's loss against St Kilda and underwent surgery on Saturday.

But the former Eagle returned to training on Monday and is ready to go.

Carlton football manager Steven Icke said, "We were a bit surprised he came out and trained, but such is the quality and professionalism of the player that nothing should surprise. He trained well."

In other injury news at Carlton, Simon Wiggins will be available for the Bombers game after shaking off a hamstring problem, along with Bret Thornton who was a late withdrawal on Friday.

Carlton also revealed ruckman Robbie Warnock was a fortnight away from a VFL return, while Andrew Walker was a month off.
