Collingwood Football Club captain Darcy Moore’s return to competitive play in 2026 is not assured, according to club officials. Moore recently resumed training after a period of recovery and rehabilitation following a trip to the United States. Despite being back on the track, the club has refrained from setting a definitive timeline for his potential return to the field. The ambiguity stems from the nature of his ongoing recovery process and potential complications. While Moore’s presence at training is a positive sign, the club is prioritizing a cautious approach to his rehabilitation. Collingwood acknowledges the importance of Moore to the team but will not rush his return, emphasizing player welfare. A firm decision regarding his availability for the 2026 season will be made as his recovery progresses.
