Western Bulldogs ruckman Tom Campbell remains in contention for round one selection despite rolling his ankle on the weekend against Collingwood.
Speaking to westernbulldogs.com.au on Tuesday afternoon, General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said the Club are hopeful of the 25-year old’s prospects.
“Tom’s in an acute phase in the his recovery from an ankle injury so he’ll be in a moonboot this week and we’ll review and monitor him at the back end of this week with a view to him coming back into training next week,” Lowe said.
“Any further decisions we need to make, we’ll make following that.’
Lowe said fellow big man Will Minson was also progressing well from a hamstring injury suffered at training last Thursday.
“He’s resumed running, [and we’re going to add some speed to his program as we progress through this week.
“We’re going to look at bringing him back into the footy program next week.”
Tory Dickson is another player who could also be in line for selection against the Dockers on Easter weekend.
“Tory’s progressing really well from his groin tightness, he’s working through our rehab program this week and he’ll be fully training this week with the few to making himself available for selection in round one.”
Both Roarke and Clay Smith are on track in their recovery from ACL injuries, Lowe saying that both players have returned to low level football training.
“We’re playing the long game with them here, but they’re progressing really well.”
