Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury has provided a fitness update on injured teammates Lynden Dunn and Tim Broomhead.

Dunn, 31, ruptured his ACL in July last year after playing the first 14 games of the season.

“He’s going very well,” Pendlebury told SEN’s KB and The Doc.

“I saw him doing some competitive marking, jumping on the bag and landing. I imagine coming back from a knee, it probably means you’re pretty close to getting back into it.

“He’s sort of been a forgotten man, but he was crucial to us in the years he has been across (from Melbourne) and it would be great to have him back as that anchor in our defence.”

Broomhead, 24, suffered a horrific broken leg when colliding with the goalpost against GWS in Round 2, sidelining him for the remainder of the season.

“He’s running again, doing some sprint and speed work, so I would imagine he’s not too far away now from jumping into training,” Pendlebury said.

“I don’t think they’re going to rush him back into it, but when he’s ready, he’ll be right to go.

“He’s certainly been out there kicking the footys, so even those steps are huge wins.”

The Collingwood duo both signed one-year contract extensions in October last year.
