SAM Day and Seb Tape are both chances to return to the GC SUNS’ senior team for the final clash of the season against Greater Western Sydney.
Tape, who was ruled out of last weekend’s match with concussion, is expected to make his return to the backline.
While Day, who came close to boarding the flight with the rest of the team last week, is also expected to return after the Club took a cautious approach with his hamstring strain.
GC SUNS High Performance Manager Stephen Schwerdt updated goldcoastfc.com.au on the injury front.
“Seb came close to playing last week but given the concussion he didn’t play. But we expect him to be fine for this week,” he said.
“Sam probably could have played last week but given it was a hamstring injury we went with the conservative route and gave him an extra week.But he’s (Day) a chance this week.”
Injury clouds hang over Daniel Gorringe (abdominal), Greg Broughton (Achilles) and Andrew Boston (sternum) after the trio went down with injuries against the Saints on Sunday afternoon.
“Daniel has an abdominal strain and had a fair bit of soreness after the game. We’ll see how things pan out but they’ll be a fair bit of doubt on whether he’ll be available this week,” Schwerdt said.
“Greg has had some achilles issues during the year but we’re confident he’ll be okay for this weekend, while Andrew coped a really bad knock to the chest and will be tested later this week,
Meanwhile Jarrod Harbrow is expected to make an immediate return to the team after withdrawing late with illness.
