# All comments by Club Doctor Laura Lallenec

Max Gawn Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprain.

“With that type of mechanism, it does always worry us whether it’s an ACL or MCL injury,”

“Assessing [Max], he has had a previous MCL injury, so it made it a bit difficult assessing him, so we weren’t sure which way it could be.

“By the end of the night, he didn’t have any swelling, he was pretty comfortable, so our confidence was that it was more likely to be an MCL injury, and then thankfully, by the next day, the MRI confirmed that.”

Steven May minor calf injury. 

“He’s got through our training today; he’ll continue to progress [and] aim to full-train on Thursday,”.

“[So] we’re really hopeful and confident he’ll be fine to play this Sunday.”

Christian Salem torn meniscus.

“Unfortunately, it was what we call unstable and needed to be trimmed back by the surgeon this morning,”.

“Surgery went really well, and he will have a week at home, resting, and then start to get back into training.”

Josh Schache played in the VFL and was involved in a head knock and was unable to finish the game.

Schache will enter concussion protocols, which is a 12-day minimum

Daniel Turner (ribs) will need to pass a test to be deemed fit to play.

Will Verrall, has bone stress in his pelvis and will be on the sidelines for an extended period of time.

Jayden Short, calf

“Jayden’s been battling a bit of a calf problem on and off for the last couple of weeks. We’re going to make a decision now to not play him this week and get him to do some strong rehab training on it, and get himself right for the rest of the season.”
