Josh Bruce has suffered a minor setback in his return to AFL, experiencing some hamstring tightness at training this week.

Western Bulldogs Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell, said the Club would take a cautious approach with Bruce.

“Josh suffered some low-level hamstring tightness in the main session yesterday,” Bell said.

“Having been in rehab for a long period of time, we don’t want to take any risks and he won’t play this weekend.”

“We will assess Josh for the following week.”
