ESSENDON has suffered a second injury blow in the aftermath of its 65-point hammering at the hands of Collingwood on Anzac Day.

Key defender Tayte Pears already out for two months with a broken arm sustained during the match.

But forward Kyle Reimers will also miss around two months with a fractured hand.

The Bombers, who carry a 1-4 win-loss record this season, face rival Hawthorn this week in what is a crunch match for both teams.
