Adam Treloar, Riley Garcia and Sam Darcy are all expected to return to availability in the weeks following the Western Bulldogs’ Round 12 bye.
Treloar remains a test ahead of the Dogs v Hawks clash next Thursday evening, while Garcia will resume full training when the program returns later this week.
“Riley is integrating back into full training following the knee injury that has kept him out of the 2025 season to date,” Bulldogs Head of Sports Medicine Chris Bell said.
“After having a few issues with the cartilage in his knee over the last few years, we have taken our time to reload his training following the surgery he underwent after his knee was injured in a VFL game.
“He still has some final boxes to tick across the next 10 days but we expect that he will return to availability not long after the bye.”
Bell said Darcy is also progressing well following his knee hyperextension injury.
“We are being very diligent and systematic with the progressions of Sam’s conservative management plan,” Bell said.
“He is starting to return to some on-field conditioning and low-level football drills. His application and professionalism to get his knee back to 100% has been outstanding.
“We will narrow our focus to a specific return-to-play program once his knee has returned to full strength and he has built continuity in his high-end football training, but we expect him to be back in the picture in the next 3-4 weeks.”
In the VFL, Anthony Scott suffered a minor adductor injury.
“From our VFL game, on a wet and slippery night, Scotty was caught in a tackle which caused his hip to overstretch when his foot slid on the ground,” Bell said.
“This has caused a minor muscle injury to his adductor. He will be monitored across our bye weekend to confirm his return to play.”
As announced earlier today, Cody Weightman will not return from a knee injury this season and has been placed on the Club’s inactive list.
