Naden informed his team on the club’s official Facebook page on Monday evening, after suffering the injury during Saturday’s win over the other Bushranger club, the Rebels.
Naden has been a standout for the club in 2016 and was the only Dubbo player to feature for the Central West representative side earlier this season.
His move into midfield was one of the major catalysts behind the Demons’ win on Saturday, when they were able to hold off a fast-finishing Rebels side.
The news of Naden’s injury follows on from the loss of fellow key player Nick O’Sullivan, who is overseas for a number of weeks.
The club will hope to have both back fit and firing for what all Demons are hoping is a meaningful crack at the 2016 CWAFL finals.
