Weekly injury update
Lions Physical Performance Manager Brett Burton catches up with lions.com.au to give his weekly update on the Club’s injury list.
Xavier Clarke
Xavier has still got his foot irritation. He’s in the moon boot so we’re just waiting for that to resolve and we’re hopefull that’ll happen sooner rather than later and he’ll be out running again soon.
Daniel Rich
Daniel isn’t moving along as quickly as we would have liked. He’s still getting some soreness in that area of the foot, so we have to go slow with him. We don’t take any risks with a stress reaction, we don’t want to make the issue worse and make it into a stress fracture.
Josh Green
Josh is back moving well and will train with the main group this week. If we had have had a game this weekend, he would have played, so he’ll be available after the bye.
Daniel Merrett
Dan had a scan on his back which showed some good healing so he’s back running again and we’ll slowly build him up and progress his running in a fairly controlled manner.
Jonathan Brown
Browny is still resting at home. He not only had the fractures in his face, he also had a concussion from that hit during the Geelong game, so he’s taking it easy at home. We expect to see him back around the Club here in around a week or so.
Claye Beams
Claye’s foot is going along well. He’s out of the boot and full weight bearing.
Ryan Lester
Ryan has had the screw removed and he’s also out of the boot, so he’s tracking well in his rehab.
