The Gold Coast SUNS can provide an update on the health of the list in the Round 19 Qscan Injury Update.
Hard-running forward Ben Ainsworth has unfortunately been ruled out for the remainder of the season after injuring his shoulder in the match against Port Adelaide.
GC SUNS Head Physiotherapist Lindsay Bull said the small forward would consult a specialist later this week to determine the next course of action.

“He has unfortunately suffered a high-grade AC joint injury which means Ben will be unavailable for the remainder of the season.”
Co-captain Jarrod Witts is fighting to prove his fitness for the Round 19 clash against GWS and will be a test to play.
“Jarrod is gradually progressing in his recovery from a fractured vertebrae but remains a week-to-week proposition at this stage,” Bull said.
“Jarrod will be tested later this week and will need to train fully before he can be considered for selection.”
