Marcus Bontempelli says he expects to be back playing for the Western Bulldogs by Round 5.
The Bulldogs captain is currently sidelined with a “complex calf injury” sustained early in the club’s AAMI Community Series clash with Hawthorn on February 27.
“It’s coming along well,” Bontempelli said on SEN Breakfast.
“Obviously not ideal any way that you look at it, missing the jump this year on the start of the season.
“So far it’s progressed nicely. I’ll start to reload and get back on legs pretty quickly which is nice.
“It’s obviously going to take a little bit of time, which is the frustrating thing, but the good thing is I feel great and really confident with our team that I’ve spent a long time with from a medical perspective.
“The important part here is to get it right so there’s no issues down the track.”
The superstar says he will likely be out of action for up to six weeks, eyeing the Gather Round clash with the Brisbane Lions on April 12 as a possible return date.
