AARON Davey will miss the remainder of the 2012 season after scans revealed a stress fracture in his right foot.

Davey presented with soreness following the Casey Scorpions win over Port Melbourne. Subsequent scans revealed a stress fracture to the third metatarsal.

It is expected that Davey will be available for the start of the 2013 pre-season campaign.

Melbourne Football Manager Josh Mahoney said: “This is disappointing for Aaron as he had been working hard on his fitness after an interrupted pre-season. Given the timing of the injury, Aaron will recover and start what will be a big pre-season campaign for him, as he prepares for the 2013 season."
