THREE Port Adelaide AFLW players currently make up the team’s injury list leading into round one.
Defender Litonya Cockatoo-Motlap underwent surgery to repair a finger fracture earlier this month and will not be available for selection this weekend.
The 19-year-old is expected to return to play in two to four weeks, provided her rehabilitation continues tracking positively.
Britt Perry is recovering well after having syndesmosis surgery three weeks ago but remains approximately three weeks away from being in contention for selection.
The forward suffered a high ankle sprain after landing awkwardly in a tackle during match simulation.
Defender Ebony O’Dea has resumed training after suffering a collapsed lung following a collision in the practice match against Adelaide early this month.
Port Adelaide will name its side for its round one clash against West Coast on Friday afternoon.
The match begins at 2:40pm ACST on Saturday at Mineral Resources Park.
Injury list
Litonya Cockatoo-Motlap (2-4 weeks)
Britt Perry (3-4 weeks)
Ebony O’Dea (approx. 1 week)
