Cursed West Coast Eagles defender Beau Waters continues to be plagued by a troublesome shoulder in his bid to return to the field for the first time since part-way through 2013.

Waters has not played since round 15 of 2013, a season that was ended by a foot injury. He subsequently required shoulder surgery that ruled him out for all of last year.

The Eagles had been upbeat about Waters' comeback for 2015 but it emerged on Tuesday that the 28-year-old's shoulder was still not up to complete fitness and that he could not yet take part in full training.

Eagles coach Adam Simpson has put no time frame on a possible return for Waters.
