“While the Club was optimistic of a positive result overnight, scans have revealed a complex injury with tendon involvement,”

“Unfortunately, the structures involved with this particular injury are prone to having recurrent issues so we will need to follow a conservative management timeline to give Marcus the best chance of a successful season.” Bulldogs Head of Sports Medicine Chris Bell.
