00:00There's some suggestion on social media that Cal Marino has picked up some kind of shoulder

00:07injury?

00:08Yes, very unfortunate. Yesterday he had a collision and he's got a shoulder injury unfortunately

00:14and it looks like he's going to be out for a few weeks.

00:17That's really bad luck isn't it?

00:19Yeah it is and it was really exciting. We're all very excited. Everything was looking very

00:24good and he landed on the floor, Gabby went on top of him and it looks like he's got a

00:30small fracture probably.

00:33You only say weeks?

00:35Well we have to see, he was in so much pain, we have to wait and see with the staff to do

00:40some more tests on that and they will have probably more conclusive answers.
