Head of Physiotherapy and Medical Services Damian Raper provided an update on the injury list ahead of Round 17 against Richmond, presented by Castlereagh Imaging.
Lance Franklin
Lance completed a training block over the weekend and took part in our main skills training this week. He has recovered well and will return to play against Richmond.
Joel Amartey
Joel will be managed this week and will not play in Thursday night’s match against Richmond. He has now put together a solid block of playing time since returning from a hamstring injury which kept him out for seven weeks and we will continue to take a proactive approach to his management.
Chad Warner
Chad has sustained a calf strain and will miss this week’s game against Richmond. He will then be assessed further by our rehabilitation team to determine his return to play timeframe.
Matt Roberts
Matt completed main training this week and tolerated his contact progressions well. He will be a test to return to play some modified game time in the VFL this week.
Peter Ladhams
Peter returned to training with the main group this week, completing modified team skills. He will aim to complete full training with ruck work and contact next week.
Jacob Konstanty
Jacob missed our VFL game against Geelong on the weekend due to some pain in his quad. He has some very low grade inflammation around his thigh bone and will require a short deload before building back in to football.
Cooper Vickery
Cooper has commenced weight bearing in his boot. He will remain in the boot until the pain in his metatarsal resolves.
