Bombers rejoicing as important cog set to return​

Essendon expects tall forward Peter Wright to resume running this week after being cleared of serious injury following a scare at training last week.

The Bombers confirmed Wright had only experienced tightness in his calf, which the club said had settled well over the players’ short late-January break.

Wright gave Bombers’ fans a scare last Wednesday when he left the training track early during the club’s match simulation session with a calf issue.

Precautionary scans have since cleared the 203cm forward of any serious damage to his calf.

After a five-day break, the Bombers’ players will return to the club on Tuesday.


The Bombers said Wright was expected to be back running this week.

Key forward Peter Wright has undergone successful surgery on his right shoulder.

The reigning Crichton medallist had the procedure to repair damage from a shoulder dislocation and will have his arm immobilised before commencing a rehabilitation program.

“Pete had shoulder surgery on Monday and all went well,” McPherson said.

“He’ll be in a sling for the next two weeks, and then we’ll be able to commence his rehab program after that.”

Forward Peter Wright is putting his best foot forward to be available for Essendon’s blockbuster round 13 clash with Carlton on Sunday.

The reigning Crichton medallist is looking to play his first game of 2023 after overcoming the shoulder injury which struck him down just days before round one.

General Manager of Performance Daniel McPherson says Wright’s participation in main sessions is pushing the 26-year-old closer to a return.

“Pete joined in main training last week and will do so again this week ahead of a potential return against the Blues,” McPherson said.

“Pete’s the ultimate professional, and has worked incredibly hard over the last few months to get himself back to this point. We’ll get through this week’s main training session, and make the final decision after that.”
