Fremantle forward Sam Sturt is questionable to be available for Round 2, he has been troubled by a minor back concern.
Sturt is currently on a restricted training program, he will likely rejoin the main training group on Monday.
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir cast some doubt on his availability in his most recent presser on Wednesday.
“He’s had a little bit of a set back.. It’s not bad but it will set him back a couple of sessions”
“It makes it tougher (to be available in Round 2), I’ve got him in the (Round 2) side at the moment”
“We expect it (the back injury) to settle down really quickly” Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir.
Sturt made his AFL debut in Round 1, he recorded 10 Disposals, 3 Marks & 3 Goals.
Sturt was also the Round 1 nomination for the 2020 Rising Star Award.

AFL FANTASY TAKE
Sturt was impressive on debut in Round 1, he was an integral part of the comeback that ultimately fell short against the Bombers.
Sturt scored 60pts in Round 1, he increased his salary by $27K to $197K and has a current Break Even of -11.
If Sturt is available to play in Round 2 he should be a consideration as a trade-in target to generate cash.
Keep in mind key forward Jesse Hogan has returned to training at Fremantle & may be available for selection in the coming weeks.
