Midfielder Tom Liberatore remains a chance to make the trip north for Saturday night’s match against the Gold Coast Suns in Cairns, despite coming from the field injured in last weekend’s win over Richmond.



Liberatore collided with Richmond’s Jayden Short in a marking contest in the second quarter of the Saturday night’s match, but encouraging scan results have indicated that any time on the sideline will be short-lived.



Speaking to westernbulldogs.com.au on Monday, GM of Football, Graham Lowe, indicated that scans have only revealed a minor rib injury, and cleared him of any significant damage.



“He’s come in to the Club today in good spirits, we’ve received his scan results which shows that he has no internal injuries…but he does have a minor rib injury,” Lowe said.



“We’ll give him every opportunity to play this weekend, but obviously his welfare is paramount.”



Lowe indicated the Club will leave it until late in the week to make a ruling on whether the gutsy midfielder takes to the field at Cazalys Stadium against the Suns.
