Star midfielder Adam Treloar is being managed in his first pre-season at the Western Bulldogs due to some persistent calf tightness.

“With Adam’s history of soft tissue injuries, we’re taking a conservative approach with him at this stage of the pre-season,” head of sports medical, Chris Bell, said.

“We have been proactive with managing Adam’s calf tightness over the past fortnight. His recovery is progressing and we anticipate he will return to full training over the next couple of weeks.”

Treloar remains on track for the Bulldogs’ AFL season-opener against his former side, Collingwood, on March 19.
