Hawthorn captain Shane Crawford will stay in hospital for another night so he can continue to undergo treatment on an infection in his broken right arm.

Crawford was admitted to hospital on Thursday after swelling developed in the arm he broke in two places against Adelaide in the AFL's round 10 clash and had an antibiotic drip put in.

"There are no problems whatsoever with the fracture," Hawthorn physiotherapist Chris Ward said.

"Shane has just picked up a bug along the way.

"We thought we'd get on to the infection straight away."

Crawford will be discharged from hospital on Saturday.

He has resumed training since he broke his arm but will not play again this season.
