Injury Update: Tests for Hartlett, Cassisi
The latest update on injuries to Hamish Hartlett, Cameron Hitchcock and Sam Colquhoun from Saturday afternoon.
Hamish Hartlett headlines that list after leaving the ground briefly with a shoulder problem during Saturday’s 17-point win over the Gold Coast Suns.
Dom Cassisi will also undergo a fitness test after suffering hamstring tightness after the Power’s loss to Geelong in Round 20.
It’s good news for Sam Colquhoun who was a late change ahead of Saturday’s match, but less so for substitution Cam Hitchcock, who will undergo scans for a hamstring injury on Monday afternoon.
“Hitchy will have scans today on his hamstring and from there we’ll assess the extent of the damage,” high performance manager Darren Burgess told portadelaidefc.com.au.
“We just kept Sammy out of the Gold Coast game as a precaution, he’ll be free to play this week.”
