Western Bulldogs recruit Barry Hall will undergo an arthroscope this week ahead of the 2010 Season.

General Manager of Football James Fantasia said today that it is only a minor operation and is not expected to inhibit Hall’s preparations for next year.

“Barry just needs a bit of a clean out on his ankle, which we were well aware of before we bought him to the Club.  Our medical staff are very confident that he will be back on his feet a day or so afterwards and ready to go for pre-season training,” Fantasia said.

Western Bulldogs young players (years 1-3) will return for pre-season training on November 16, while the remaining group will begin training on November 23.
