EMERGING North Melbourne midfielder Jamie Macmillan will miss up to six weeks after fracturing his right fibula against Port Adelaide on Sunday.

North football director Geoff Walsh told NMFC.com.au on Monday that scans had revealed Macmillan had suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fibula, but would not require surgery.

"Probably in that sort of situation it's the best possible result, (it will be) maybe four to six weeks before he's back playing," Walsh said.

"No one ever likes to suffer an injury and particularly a break, but in terms of that (it's) not a bad result."

Poor kid...had really cemented his spot well and been a good player for the club! Best of luck for a speedy recovery, can play.
