ADELAIDE'S midfield woes increased today with captain Nathan van Berlo being ruled out for a month with bone bruising to a knee.

Van Berlo was subbed out of Sunday's Showdown XXXIV after taking a knock to the knee. Now scans have revealed the hit has caused bone bruising.

Experienced midfielder Scott Thompson will captain Adelaide in van Berlo's absence during Sunday's clash with the Western Bulldogs at AAMI Stadium.

Crows must step up now: Rutten

Adelaide is listed to have a day off from formal training on Wednesday before a closed practice session at AAMI Stadium on Thursday morning.

This work-out will form the basis of critical decisions at the selection table where Sanderson has to deal with Adelaide's lack of midfield productivity being further hurt by the loss of van Berlo.

The Crows have worryingly fallen from top-two rankings for winning clearances and scoring from clearances to 10th and eighth respectively.
