Brisbane Lions Head of Medical Peter Blanch has given lions.com.au an injury update ahead of the team’s Round 5 match with the Western Bulldogs.
Vice-captain Tom Rockliff left the field with a dislocated finger in the final quarter of Sunday’s loss to Richmond and will wear a splint as he recovers from the injury.
“Tom had a fair dislocation to his finger – it resulted in a small fracture to the joint,” said Brisbane Lions Head of Medical Peter Blanch.
“He’ll have to wear a splint during the day. For training and games he’ll tape it up and play on so he won’t miss any games with that.”
