\n Injury Report\n <\/p>\n

\n Bombers injury report ahead of round ten vs. Fremantle.\n <\/p>\n

Jye Caldwell will be a test ahead of this weekend\u2019s game against Walyalup, after the midfielder missed last week due to an ankle injury he sustained in round eight.<\/p>\n

As reported on Sunday, young Don Dyson Sharp\u00a0dislocated his shoulder during the third quarter of Saturday’s match against the GIANTS. Scans conducted this week confirmed surgical intervention will not be required at this point in time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rather,\u00a0Sharp will complete a four-to-six-week strengthening program before being available for selection after the mid-season bye.<\/p>\n

Liam McMahon\u00a0suffered an ankle injury\u00a0during the third quarter of Sunday\u2019s VFL match, expected to spend four-to-six weeks on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

As reported earlier, Zak Johnson\u00a0suffered a broken foot against GWS and will miss a large portion of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Mason Redman\u00a0and Nick Bryan\u00a0both made successful returns into the AFL side over the weekend, Bryan\u2019s first senior game since rupturing his ACL last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dons will name their side on Thursday night to take on Fremantle for the first weekend of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.<\/p>\n
