"He is naturally very disappointed but he has a good attitude and will now put his head down and focus on getting his body right.
"We expect him to be close to playing within that six to eight week period and look forward to him stringing some games together which is the most important thing for his development."
In other news, Damien Peverill will miss the next 3-5 weeks because of a fractured jaw.
The injury, which occurred during Bendigo's VFL game on Saturday, required plates being inserted in his jaw.
Despite the latest injury setbacks, Calthorpe said the club is starting to turn the corner with Scott Gumbleton, Dustin Fletcher, Sam Lonergan, Leroy Jetta and Mark McVeigh all expected to be available within the next two weeks.
