The Western Bulldogs have emerged out of Sunday’s 21-point victory over Collingwood unscathed, and with no new injuries to report.
Of the players on the injury list currently, Tom Boyd looks closest to return to play after passing a series of tests in his shoulder strengthening program.
GM, Football Graham Lowe said the power forward was likely to play this coming weekend, either at VFL or AFL level.
“Tom’s got through all the strengthening work that we wanted him to get done and has done the extra training we needed him to do,” Lowe said.
“He’ll be involved in full training this week with a view to being available for selection, which is great news.”
Zaine Cordy has made some gains in his recovery from a high-ankle injury, but is at least another week away.
“Zaine is back into running and working through some speed, and football skills, Lowe said.
“He won’t be available this week but he is certainly progressing well and we look forward to seeing him very soon.”
Tough midfielder Koby Stevens is set to miss again with an abdominal muscle injury, with the Club medical staff opting for a cautious approach.
“Koby has re-aggravated his previous abdominal injury, so we’ll take a conservative approach around that to ensure that we don’t have issues moving forward.”
