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 missed last week as a late withdrawal. He’s had a bit of a foot irritation which we’re hoping has settled down now, and he’ll hopefully be available this weekend.

Ash McGrath
Ash copped a knock to his knee - a slight contusion injury. We’ve been letting it settle and he’ll do light training with the main group on Thursday. All things going well he will be available to play.

Mitch Clark
Mitch’s ankle rehab is going really well. His injury has settled and he’s back to 100% running and he’s feeling good. Barring any new incidents this week, he’ll be available.

Josh Drummond
Drummo had some bone bruising so we were waiting of that to settle. He’s progressing well in his rehab and he’ll be available in the next week or two.

Daniel Rich
Daniel’s stress reaction in his foot is settling well. He’s now back to weight bearing, but still wearing the moon boot on and off, so we are taking that slow. That’ll hopefully progress over next few weeks and we’ll see him back after the bye.

Josh Green
Josh has been non weight bearing this past week - he was on crutches but is now just in the moon boot. We’re starting to get him out of the boot and get his foot function back. He should be back after the bye as well.

Daniel Merrett
Rog has still got that back issue. It’s a slow healing injury. He’s coming up to the six week stage so we’ll re-scan soon and see how it’s healing and that’ll guide the next part of his rehab.

Jamie Charman
He’s recovering from a little hiccup in his rehab program. He’s now back to running which is good. We’ll just increase his running progressions over the next couple of weeks.

Ryan Lester
Ryan is having his pin out on Friday, so he’ll be non-weight bearing again for a while. Once he’s recovered from that, we’ll progress his walking/running program and get him back up to speed again.

Claye Beams
Claye’s continuing with his rehab program.
