The Western Bulldogs have no major injuries to report after their 68-point win over the Brisbane Lions on Saturday, with Koby Stevens expected to line up in round two subject to a fitness test.
Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie said that Stevens’ scans revealed there he did not sustain a hamstring injury, after being substituted out of the season opener.
“Koby Stevens we took off due to hamstring tightness – we’ve had a scan recently which has revealed there is no injury there,” McKenzie said.
“He had a run today and we will see how he goes in training tomorrow.”
Young Bulldogs midfielder Luke Dahlhaus copped a minor knock to the thigh during the hitout, but the 20-year-old set to rejoin full training tomorrow.
“Luke came off with a corked thigh and that has cleared up really well, he will be back in training tomorrow,” he said.
Both Matthew Boyd (calf) and Dylan Addison (hamstring) are responding as expected to their programs after enduring injuries in the past fortnight.
“Boydy is progressing well – he has started running on the Alter-G and we will build him up from there,” he said.
“[Addison’s] tracking well also, he ran yesterday and he’s pulled up well today and we will build up his speed over the week.”
Easton Wood and Tom Williams are progressing well with their rehabilitation of a hamstring and foot injury respectively.
Wood is expected to be available for selection this week, while Williams is hopeful of building up his fitness to come into contention the following week.
