The Bulldogs' injury woes have fans on the edge of their seats, but Gus Gould has some reassuring news! Will the stars shine in Vegas?
After a concerning scene on Saturday, Bulldogs fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Despite Matt Burton's hamstring scare, Gould, the team's director of football, has taken to social media to provide an update. He confirms that Burton's MRI scan revealed no tear, indicating he should be ready for the upcoming Vegas opener.
But here's where it gets tricky: with Mitchell Woods already on the injury list, Sean O'Sullivan remains on standby. If Burton's condition takes a turn for the worse, O'Sullivan will step up to fill the void.
And there's more! Gould also shared an update on forward Leo Thompson, who was withdrawn from the All Stars match due to calf issues. Thompson is set to undergo scans upon his return from New Zealand, with the injury deemed precautionary but necessary to assess.
As the Bulldogs prepare to depart for their Round 1 clash against the Dragons in Vegas, the injury situation remains a talking point. Will these key players make it to the field? Only time will tell.
