She says she is physically okay, but "still processing things mentally" Wuetschner will soon return to training ahead of Brisbane's season opener against Adelaide on February 8

Wuetschner was working in a crane on the Port of Brisbane in the early hours of Sunday morning when a large storm rolled through and lightning struck a pole she was holding.

She fortunately suffered no physical injuries, just weeks out from the start of the AFLW season, and will soon return to training.

"Physically I am A-OK, but I'm still processing things mentally," she said.

"I am feeling a bit flat physically so will be resting my body. I was very lucky and I'm feeling very fortunate.

"The doctors have given me the all clear to return to training, so I'm looking forward to getting back to footy, getting back to normal.

"Thank you to everyone for their care and concern."

Wuetschner has played 23 games for the Lions and has kicked 26 goals, putting her second on the AFLW's all-time goalkicking list.

The Lions' AFLW chief executive Breeanna Brock said the club was thankful Wuetschner was alright and the team was supporting her in every way possible.

Brisbane's first match of the season is at home to the Adelaide Crows on February 8.
