Dan Carter set for sidelines yet again; won't face Chiefs

Blues fans will have to wait another week for the chance to see Dan Carter run out in their colours it appears.

The All Blacks great was set to make his debut for the franchise against the Hurricanes last weekend before suffering a calf strain at training.

It seems he won't be taking the field this Sunday against the Chiefs either. Carter didn't take part in Blues training today, sticking to gym duties instead.

It is understood he is targeting next weekend's match against the Highlanders in Dunedin.

Blues first five-eighth Otere Black took part in some training today after suffering a neck injury in the defeat in Wellington.

The Blues will face the Chiefs at 3.35pm this Sunday while the unbeaten Crusaders will take on the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday.
