Hawthorn recruit Chad Wingard is currently dealing with calf tightness.

The minor disruption to Wingard’s first summer in the brown and gold has restricted the 25-year-old to a modified program over the past week.

Hawthorn’s GM-Football Graham Wright said he anticipates the two-time All Australian re-joining the main group next week.

“He has just been experiencing some tightness in his calf,” Wright said.

“We pulled him out of training late last week and he ran inside today.

“He will run outside again on Friday before hopefully resuming with the main program next week.”
