ACL's will plague the AFLW more and more over the next decade ... mark it down .

So what is our injury list at the moment? This is from my memory but I have no idea of the details in terms of weeks expected to return, etc.

Sophie Li (Concussion) - test
Deni Varnhagen (Knee) - possible ACL, testing to occur this week
Erin Phillips (ACL) - back at training, possible round 1 return?
Chloe Scheer (ACL) - back at training, expected to return this season but not clear how early
Rhiannon Metcalfe (ACL) - I haven't heard anything. Almost exactly a year since she did the ACL now, is she back training?
Hannah Button (ACL) - season
Chelsea Randall (ACL) - season

Deni looks to have avoided the dreaded ACL. Could be playing in 3-6 weeks. Has cartilage damage and will require surgery.

Great news for Deni.

 

[Coopers]

Lucky! Looked bad. She's very good, so wouldn't want her gone for too long.

 

[cmndstab]

Super news! Fingers crossed she's able to get back by the midpoint of the season, and that we're doing well enough to be in solid contention at that point.

Metcalfe - on track to return this month, but not for round 1
Phillips - on track to return this month, but not for round 1
Scheer - needed additional knee surgery, expectation is to see her "sometime this year"
