CibbuanoStar Eagles to see specialist
July 14th 2009 05:40
WEST COAST stars Dean Cox and Daniel Kerr will travel to Adelaide with the team on Friday to see a groin specialist.
Cox returned against St Kilda after missing two matches but spent the entire last quarter on the bench while Kerr hasn't played since the round 13 win over Hawthorn.
Eagles coach John Worsfold said the club was hoping to get some answers to determine when Cox and Kerr can play again.
"Both players are going to fly to Adelaide with the team on Friday to see a specialist in that area over there just for another opinion on what he thinks may be happening. That's the next step and the issue is that the soreness came on reasonably suddenly, and hasn't gone suddenly," Worsfold said.
"If it was just a muscle strain in either case you would expect that it would clear up reasonably quickly, but they haven't. It's something that we want to make sure we know exactly what it is."
"At this stage, we are hoping that they might only miss two or three weeks and that we will get them back up and going. We expect both to be unavailable this week and next, and then we don't know from there."
Worsfold also said Mark Seaby will come in to the side to replace Cox for the clash against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Sunday.
