Lions Physical Performance Manager Brett Burton catches up with lions.com.au to give his weekly update on the Club’s injury list.

Brent Staker

Brent had scans on Monday which revealed a rupture of his ACL. Right now we're just gathering information and talking to surgeons to decide the next course of action. 

Todd Banfield

Todd experienced some hamstring soreness last week so we've just been monitoring that. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, but he would be in some doubt for this week.

Mitch Clark

Mitch had minor clean-up surgery in his knee last week. The recovery time is generally around four weeks, so it won't interrupt his pre-season.

Jared Polec

Jared underwent knee surgery a couple of weeks ago. Because it is his second knee surgery this year, we'll give him a longer recovery to ensure he's ready to go by the start of the pre-season.

Xavier Clarke

X is still in the moon boot, but is tracking along well. We expect his foot will be in good shape by the start of pre-season.

Jesse O'Brien

Jesse is in and out of the moon boot at the moment, but like a lot of the others, will be ready for a full tilt at 2012.

Joel Patfull / Jonathan Brown / Daniel Merrett / Claye Beams / Ryan Lester

All boys are tracking really well from their injuries and have started some forms of training. All will be back into full training by the time pre-season comes around.
