Dashing West Coast follower Luke Shuey is the latest Eagle nursing a nagging ankle injury and is likely to miss Saturday’s MCG engagement with Carlton.

The Eagles vice-captain needed medical assistance and running repairs late into the first term of his in-form outfit’s 80-point demolition of Gold Coast in Perth on Saturday.

He still collected 22 disposals along with five often dashing clearances, but pulled up with heavy

ankle soreness after the outing.

Luke Shuey looks set to miss this week with an ankle injury.

West Coast is already resigned to losing first-year on-baller Dan Venables with another serious ankle injury.
