8. Jake Lever

Ankle TBC

“Jake's had a bit of an interrupted season with the ankle surgery earlier in April, and it has been quite a frustrating year for him,” Griffith said. “He's had a great couple of weeks of training, but after the game he reported that he had some increasing pain around his ankle and foot. “Following some imaging, it’s shown that he has some irritation to the sheath, which is around the tendon near the back of his ankle. “We're going to intervene with that irritation, which involves an injection to hopefully help settle some of his pain. “Our key priority for Jake is to return him to peak performance, so we want to really make sure that the program we put around him is dealing with the pain first and foremost and then ensuring that he can return to peak performance, because it has been a frustrating period for him. “At this stage, we don't have an exact timeline on his return.”
