WESTERN Bulldogs vice-captain Daniel Giansiracusa is in doubt for Monday's clash with Fremantle after straining his hamstring.
Giansiracusa pulled up suddenly at training at Whitten Oval on Friday as the club prepared for the bye weekend.

The Bulldogs have kept the injury under wraps in the slim hope the midfielder-forward would recover in time to face the Dockers. But with that game at Subiaco, it's unlikely Giansiracusa will travel to Perth.

Dogs football manager James Fantastia said the club would make a definitive decision on Giansiracusa this afternoon.

"He just over-stretched. He was stretching for a ball in front of him and it pulled up a bit tight. He came in and we iced it up," Fantastia said.

"We don't think it's that bad, maybe he'll miss just one week, but we want to see how it's settled down today."


Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade is due to front the media later this morning where it's expected he will reveal the injury.
