Tasmania’s VFL/W High Performance Manager Ross Brosnan has provided an injury update on Candice Belbin ahead of Saturday’s clash with Darebin at UTAS Stadium.
Candice Belbin
Candice sustained a wrist injury during a local-level match as part of her return-to-play program from a femur stress reaction. She has rebuilt her training loads and will be a test for this weekend.
Ebony McGinniss
Ebony sustained an ankle ligament injury at training three weeks ago. She has recommenced strength work and has now entered a running program. She is expected to return in 2–3 weeks.
Taia Lette
Taia sustained a low-grade high ankle sprain early in the match against Port Melbourne and will continue to be assessed as she progresses through the early stages of her rehabilitation. She is expected to return in 3–4 weeks.
Georgia Clark
Georgia underwent surgery earlier this season for a hip labral injury. She is progressing strongly through the early stages of her running and strength program and is expected to return in 6–7 weeks.
Jessie Williams
Jessie sustained an ACL injury following a run-down tackle early in the match against Port Melbourne at ETU Stadium. The club will continue to support her holistically through the next stage of her rehabilitation.
Meghan Gaffney
Meghan sustained an ACL injury during our pre-season clash with Carlton and has since commenced her early management plan.
