Sanderson's comments follow media speculation after Wells did little at training last Friday and left the track early.
The Magpies insisted then that Wells was not injured.
While he managed 19 games in 2016, lower-leg issues restricted Wells to just 12 matches over the previous two years.
"He's probably going to miss about 10 days of training, he's got a slight strain of the soleus which as you know once you hit 30 they tend to pop up every now and again," Sanderson told RSN.

"We've just got make sure we get him to round one fit and raring to go."
Wells, 32 next February, played 243 games for North Melbourne before joining Collingwood.
