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.
“Ben sustained a knock to his shoulder during the match which was assessed further post-match,” Bull said.
“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.”
Small forward Jake Rogers sustained a MCL sprain to his knee at training last week and will be sidelined for three weeks as he recovers.
Veteran winger Brandon Ellis remains one week away from a return from his calf injury as the club takes a cautious approach with the 30-year-old.
In positive news, Lachie Weller has been cleared for a return to play from his ACL injury this weekend and will be available for AFL selection.
Read underwent scans on a leg injury following Round 17 which has shown a small fracture, with a timeline for his return to be determined in due course.
Ainsworth sustained a knock to his shoulder during Round 18 which was assessed further post match. He has unfortunately suffered a high-grade AC joint injury.
