CARLTON forward Levi Casboult could miss up to two months.

The strong-marking big man left Etihad Stadium in the early stages of Carlton’s win over Port Adelaide to have scans on his injured left leg.

Casboult hyper-extended his left knee after landing awkwardly in a marking contest in the first quarter and initial fears were for a serious knee injury.

However, scans revealed a hairline fracture of his tibia.

Let's hope it's not the worst for Levi Casboult, who rolled ankle as well as having his left knee buckle. Can't put weight on it.

Official line from Blues is scans will determine Casboult's knee injury. But real glimmer of hope from docs that it's not his ACL

The 26-year-oldc grabbed at his knee as soon as he hit the ground and had to be helped from the ground.

Casboult — lauded in recent weeks for his strong marking despite a dubious goalkicking — was taken straight down the race into the rooms for further assessment.

He returned to the bench in the second quarter with heavy strapping and ice on his left knee.

Casboult left the ground at half-time for scans.
