ESSENDON'S week from hell has taken another nosedive with silky midfielder Jake Melksham breaking his hand at training today.

Melksham joins captain Jobe Watson (knee) and David Zaharakis (quad) on the injury list ahead of the Bombers' NAB Cup opener next Friday night.

The 21-year-old will undergo surgery after the mishap in today's intra-club match. Melksham landed awkwardly on his hand in an attempt to win the ball.

Coach James Hird said Melksham would return to training next week despite the setback.

"Jake will have the operation today but he will be back into training on Monday," Hird said.

"We look forward to him playing in the next two to three weeks."

The Bombers expect Melksham to return for Round 2 of the NAB Cup - a showdown with Richmond at Wangaratta next month.
