Frost was substituted out of Saturday’s win over Gold Coast after suffering a corked hamstring but Director of Football Neil Balme says he is very much in the mix to take on the Kangaroos. “We were hoping that it was only a corked hamstring and it appears that it is, it’s not a strain, and we’re very confident that he will be able to play this week,” Balme told CollingwoodTV’s Blackmores Injury Update. “He will be tested, but we’re pretty sure that he will get up.” The club is hopeful that two of its most experienced players will be able to put their soft tissue complaints behind them and return in the VFL on Saturday. “We’re pretty confident that Clinton Young will also play this week, so he will also be tested after training but more than likely will return in the VFL at Coburg,” Balme continued. “Ben Reid’s in a similar position (to Young), in that we are pretty confident that he will play this week as well. “He will also be tested and if we’re happy with his position, he will play at Coburg as well.” The injury list should clear further if Alan Toovey returns to the field. Toovey sat out Saturday’s win owing to a jarred knee but Balme expects him to pass a fitness test later this week. “He feels good so this week – today and tomorrow – he will train so we’re pretty confident that he will also be available this week. “Naturally we will test him but he will be pretty good chance of being available.” Balme said Levi Greenwood (fractured tibia), Darcy Moore (hamstring) and Ben Sinclair (hamstring) are all making good progress in their rehabilitation and should be pressing for a return to the field shortly. |
