Will Day has been ruled out the first week of finals as he continues to overcome a collarbone injury.

Day was subbed out of Hawthorn's Round 23 clash a fortnight ago following an incident in the first quarter of that match.
 
While the 23-year-old has made progress since suffering the injury, Hawthorn Head Doctor Liam West said he would not be available to play next Friday.
 
“Will certainly is improving, he has been able to resume running and has been training over the past week,” West said.

“But at this stage, Will hasn't reached the level of function to return to full skills training yet and given his specific injury, we unfortunately know he won't be able to achieve this in time to be considered for selection next week.

“We plan to progress Will's rehab next week and remain hopeful that he may be available for the second week of finals, should we progress.”
