Our Injury list

Interesting that we have 4 calf injuries this late in the season. And only weeks after we had a bye to reset.

Deep Heat Medical Room: Round 17

Liam Jones remains a test to return ahead of VFL and AFL games this weekend.

The tall defender has been battling general soreness and will need to get through main training this week before being available to return.

“Liam Jones’ general soreness from a heavy landing two weeks ago has continued to improve,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

“If he gets through full training this week like I expect, his name will be back on the selection table.”

Michael Sellwood has been managed through the concussion protocols and could return via the VFL this weekend.

“Michael has progressed well within our concussion protocols. He still has some final boxes to tick across the next 48 hours but is in line to return to return to availability.”

Luke Kennedy will miss another week with some calf trouble.

“Luke has some low-level calf tightness. Being a young first year player, we won’t take any risks with Luke and will monitor him across the next week to determine when he returns to play.”

Western Bulldogs utility Harvey Gallagher has suffered a further setback, with scans confirming a bone stress injury to his foot.

Gallagher had recently been sidelined with a calf injury.

“During our match simulation training session on Saturday, Harvey developed some generalised ankle symptoms,” Bulldogs Head of Medical Services Chris Bell said.

“Scans have confirmed that he has a bone stress injury to his navicular bone.

“Harvey will consult with a surgeon this week to confirm if surgical management is needed to assist with his management.

“His rehabilitation plan and timeline will be confirmed across this week.”

James Harmes remains a test after falling ill, while Arthur Jones is closing in on a return from a hamstring complaint.

Pleasingly, the Bulldogs emerged from their AFL Round 18 match unscathed.
