Brisbane Lions coach Chris ***an says Lachie Neale could make his return from injury before the club’s bye.
The 2020 Brownlow Medallist underwent ankle surgery after suffering a syndesmosis injury against Carlton, but ***an revealed Neale could be fit to play as early as Brisbane’s Round 13 clash against ladder-leading Melbourne.
“Lachie (Neale) was running today and running well,” he said on
Sportsday.
“He’s trying to get back for our game against Melbourne in three weeks’ time and then we have a bye, probably for me it’s more realistic that he comes back after the bye but he’s pretty determined to get back before then.
“He is going well, so it’s probably closer to six weeks than eight weeks that was the range we were given when he was first injured.”
