THE BRISBANE Lions' midfield has taken a further hit with Allen Christensen set to miss a month of football after breaking his right collarbone in the Lions' loss to Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Christensen was injured late in the second quarter when collected by what appeared to be a fair bump from Carlton forward Andrew Walker.
The Lions midfielder left the field as soon as he regained his feet and did not take any further part in the game.
Lions coach Justin Leppitsch confirmed after the match Christensen was set for an extended stint on the sidelines.
"It's a broken collarbone from what I understand, so it will be about a month on the sidelines," Leppitsch said.
Christensen's injury came on the same day the Lions regained skipper Tom Rockliff from a three-week absence with a hamstring injury.
