CibbuanoGehrig's future still undecided: Lyon
May 21st 2008 03:26
THE future of St Kilda forward Fraser Gehrig remains undecided according to coach Ross Lyon.
Gehrig was placed on the club's long-term injury list on Tuesday after battling arthritis in the hands, as well as groin problems.
Lyon said the club would continue to monitor Gehrig's progress, but stopped short of saying whether or not the 32-year-old would play again.
“He’ll be on the long-term injury list for eight weeks and we’ll assess it from there,” Lyon said.
In some good news for the injury-plagued Saints, Lyon said St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt and Steven Baker were chances to return from knee injuries.
“[Riewoldt] is a really good opportunity to play. We’re really optimistic he’ll play but he’s got two more sessions to get through," Lyon said.
"Baker’s in exactly the same category.”
Lyon also said midfielder Luke Ball would play against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday despite being seen wearing a moon boot at Monday’s training session.
“He’s fine. If we had anything to hide and he was in any risk, he wouldn’t be out there at an open session with the moon boot.
