Cox In Doubt
Wednesday 13th January 2010
West Coast ruckman Dean Cox is in doubt for the Eagles’ NAB Cup opener against Essendon after suffering an abdominal strain during Christmas pre-season training..
Eagles coach John Worsfold says Cox would likely resume full training next week but was in doubt for the club's first competitive hitout of the year.
But the news was better for midfielder Daniel Kerr who is on track to face the Bombers at Subiaco on February 12.
"We don't race to get them ready for round one of the NAB Cup. If they're ready, they'll probably play, but it's not as though we're going to rush their program to have them ready for that," Worsfold said.
"Kerry's certainly on target for it but Coxy's going to have to do a bit of work over the next couple of weeks and show that he's coping with that work before we'd say he's going to play in that first NAB Cup game."
