www.zerohanger.comHere’s the latest I can summarize based on recent coverage:
-
Pendlebury sustained an arm issue in early 2026, with reports indicating a partial tear that sidelined him for multiple weeks and caused him to miss key games, including early-season fixtures and potential milestone opportunities. This has affected his playing schedule and delayed his pursuit of career game records.[1]
-
In March 2026, Pendlebury faced a one-match suspension for rough conduct, his first such sanction in a 427-game career, which sparked appeals and a tribunal hearing to potentially reduce the penalty; the case drew notable attention given his long-standing clean record. The tribunal ultimately downgraded the penalty to a fine, allowing him to be available for a subsequent match, keeping him on track to approach the all-time games record.[2][3][6]
-
Additional context from club and media coverage around that period highlighted Pendlebury’s ongoing role as a veteran leader for Collingwood, including discussions about his form, fitness, and potential continued involvement beyond 2025 as he chased milestones while managing injuries.[7][9]
