JASON Johnson may have played his last game for Essendon, with a torn calf expected to keep him out of action for at least a month. Johnson sustained the injury during a training drill at Windy Hill nine days ago.
"He will certainly miss the next month. It's a four-to-five week injury," football manager David Calthorpe said yesterday.
"It's a real setback for him as he was on the verge of senior call-up."
But the club was quick to douse any speculation the 30-year-old midfielder would not play again.
"His career is definitely not finished," Calthorpe said. "He's all right; he's in good spirits."
The two-time Crichton medallist has managed only two senior games this year after coach Matthew Knights spelt out that he and teammate Damian Peverill would struggle for a senior recall under the club's new youth policy.
Calthorpe believed Johnson could regain his spot in the team.
"He'll still be considered (for senior selection). He won't come straight back in, but he'll do his rehab and then he'll be in line for selection," Calthorpe said.
