The Golden Square and Bendigo Pioneers midfielder injured his hamstring early in the game against the Allies and was forced to watch on from the bench as Vic Country went down by 23 points in Sydney.
Caldwell, co-captain of the Vic Country team, kicked a goal and had six possessions before he suffered the injury.
