A dip in the Indian Ocean set the scene for recovery after the Lions’ 36-point loss at the hands of Fremantle on Sunday.
Match Report: Lions V Fremantle
Elite Performance Manager, Brett Burton, told the Bupa Recovery Report on Monday at City Beach, that injuries during the game to Mitch Robinson and Brent Staker will be assessed over the coming days.
“Robbo had a slight ankle sprain and Stakes, a bit of a corky, we’re hoping both of those are on the minor end and we’ll see how they go during the week.”
Captain Tom Rockliff is confident of his comeback from broken ribs against Sydney on Sunday after six weeks on the sidelines.
The 25-year-old broke his ribs for the second time this season against St Kilda in round nine and told of the news via a twitter update on Monday afternoon.
"To all you fantasy/dreamteam/supercoach fans who keep filling my feed the answer is Yes," Rockliff tweeted.
Pearce Hanley is also expected to return on Sunday for his 100th game.
“We’ll wait and see what Pearce is like, it’s obviously still early in the week”, Burton said.
“We’ll get back to Brisbane and assess him and make a decision later in the week.”
