CibbuanoCox in doubt for NAB Cup opener

WEST COAST star Dean Cox is in doubt for the Eagles' NAB Cup opener against Essendon after suffering an abdominal strain prior to Christmas.
The four-time All-Australian ruckman injured his groin in West Coast's round 12 loss to Richmond last year and was restricted to just one game after that.
Classy midfielder Daniel Kerr, who also had his 2009 season blighted by a groin injury, is on track to play against the Bombers at Subiaco Oval on February 12.
"Kerry's certainly on target for it but Coxy's going to have to do a bit of work over the next couple of weeks and show that he's coping with that work before we'd say he's going to play in that first NAB Cup game," West Coast coach John Worsfold said.
"The issue he had at the end of last year, we're pretty comfortable he's overcome, but he's had a small abs strain in the meantime, so he's on track to be back out there training next week."
"Kerry, we've been pretty lucky with, (he) hasn't had any real dramas and Coxy's had this little setback, but it's only a minor one so we're still comfortable that he's getting the work in that he's needing to."
