2012 draftee Josh Prudden will spend the next fortnight on the sidelines after injuring his ankle in the VFL on Saturday.

Getting caught in a tackle, the 18-year-old twisted his ankle, which will require two weeks to rehabilitate, Western Bulldogs Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie said.

“Josh was caught up in a tackle and twisted his ankle,” McKenzie said.

“He’s injured a ligament in the top of his foot and he will miss a few weeks with that.”

After playing his first senior game since round 18 last year, Tom Williams got through the game against St Kilda unscathed, and will back up again this week in Darwin.

“Tom got through the game well, he’s pulled up well after the game and he’s happy to go forward now and will train this week,” he said.

Adam Cooney is on track to return to the Bulldogs’ senior side after the bye weekend, after discovering a bleed in his hamstring that prevented him from playing against St Kilda last week.

“Adam was tight after the game, we watched it for a couple of days and he didn’t progress that well,” McKenzie said.

“We scanned his hamstring and it showed a small bleed in one of the muscles and he will miss this week as well.

“We hope to have him back after the bye.”
