Blues fans will have to wait another week for the chance to see Dan Carter run out in their colours it appears.
The All Blacks great was set to make his debut for the franchise against the Hurricanes last weekend before suffering a calf strain at training on Thursday.
It seems he won't be taking the field this Sunday against the Chiefs either.
Carter didn't take part in Blues training today, sticking to gym duties instead. Newstalk ZB Sport understands he is targeting next weekend's match against the Highlanders in Dunedin.
