Tom Campbell was substituted in the second term against Sydney on Sunday with concussion but the 22-year-old is expected to be available this weekend
Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie said the versatile tall was recovering well after receiving a knock to the head and having his sight momentarily impaired.
“Tom got a hit to the head during the game, there was a bit of concern due to some blurred vision and that being related to some concussion signs,” McKenzie said.
“The doctor did review and thought it was best that they sub him out of the game and take that cautious approach.
“Consequently he has pulled up quite well and he is improving and he will be monitored over the week and will be expected to play.”
Fellow talls Liam Jones and Jack Redpath were also late withdrawals to the Footscray Bulldogs side in the VFL, citing soreness.
“Both Liam and Jack had slight niggles from the previous game, we decided it was in their best interest to have the week off,” he said.
“They will be back into full training this week and again expected to line up.”
Defender Easton Wood has successfully undergone surgery to rehabilitate his fractured hand and is recovering as predicted.
“Easton has had a pin put into his hand and the surgery went really well,” he said.
“He’s feeling great now and getting along and into his rehab so he’s going fantastic.”
